Dakota Johnson has been friends with Taylor Swift for a long time, so her attendance at the singer's nuptials was all but mandatory. When Swift wed Travis Kelce in a grand wedding ceremony at Madison Square Garden—in front of approximately 1,000 guests—Johnson was watching, while wearing the perfect little black dress.

The Materialists star was photographed leaving her apartment to head to the wedding wearing a sleek yet subtle wedding guest outfit. Johnson's black halter dress—from Valentino's Pre-Fall 2026 collection—features a leg split and a long scarf detail, which moves with the breeze.

She accessorized the LBD with a Rockstud Spike Nappa Leather Crossbody Clutch Bag from Valentino, which retails for $2,400 and adds a little edge to her outfit.

For footwear, Johnson opted for Valentino's $1,190 Marie Velluto Bow 105 Mules in Black, which are constructed from velvet and feature a peep-toe. The actress also accessorized her Valentino look with a pair of Prada's Oval Frame Metal Sunglasses.

For jewelry, Johnson opted to wear a plethora of pieces from her enviable collection, including Jessica McCormack's Diamond & Blackened Gold Crescent Moon Gypset Single Hoop Earrings and the brand's Asymmetric Pear-Shaped Emerald and Diamond Gypset Hoop Earrings, via @closetofdakotajohnson.

She also wore a Natasha Diamond Bracelet from Marlo Laz, and rings from Sophie Bille Brahe, Jessica McCormack, Verdura, and 5•6•8•3.

Johnson joined a ton of other celebrities at the star-studded bash, including Gigi Hadid, Gracie Abrams, Karlie Kloss, and Emma Stone. But it's safe to say that Johnson's LBD made quite the impression.

Can you feel that touch of warmth in the air? Yes, that’s right—spring has officially sprung. While I’m looking forward to visiting the cherry blossoms in Central Park and sipping on my favorite seasonal drink (a strawberry matcha from Blank Street, to be exact), I’m most excited about curating my collection of spring outfits.

Having already stocked my closet with balmy-weather basics—including tank tops, Bermuda shorts, and cropped jackets—I’m now in need of some fresh outfit formulas to put in heavy rotation. So naturally, I’ve turned to the celebrity crowd, where stylish A-listers are offering up plenty of inspiration.

Several weeks ago, Zendaya was spotted in a tailored trench coat, which she masterfully styled with a gauzy linen skirt and a pair of sophisticated loafers for a pared-down look. Not too long after that, Dakota Johnson took a similar minimalist approach, teaming a sleek slip dress with a cardigan and a pair of dainty ballet flats. Gigi Hadid, on the other hand, endorsed one of spring 2026’s most viral color trends, wearing a delectable tomato red sweater.

Ahead, you’ll find a selection of my favorite celebrity spring outfits that are beyond easy to copy. While these stars often wear luxury labels like The Row, Saint Laurent, and Burberry, you don’t have to break the bank to recreate their looks. Keep scrolling to discover a range of affordable styles from brands like Reformation, Madewell, and more.

Kendall Jenner

Although it’s 70 degrees as I write this story, I don’t want to get my hopes up just yet. Springtime temperatures often fluctuate, so I plan to prepare for the worst with this cozy look from Kendall Jenner. The model is seen here wearing a $2,295 trench coat from Burberry, but I’ve found this budget-friendly alternative from Sézane instead. Coordinated with white pants and high-vamp flats, this look is guaranteed to turn me into an outfit repeater.

Dakota Johnson

If you haven’t heard, ‘90s minimalism is back for another spin around fashion’s trend cycle. Dakota Johnson recently embraced the retro aesthetic with a sumptuous slip dress coated in cool blue, a pair of easygoing ballet slippers, and a soft cardigan. Whether you’re heading to the office or going out to lunch, this polished uniform will rise to any occasion.

Zendaya

When Zendaya isn’t serving on the red carpet, she’s often dressed in streamlined off-duty outfits. Take, for example, this head-to-toe look from The Row. Composed of a roomy trench, an airy linen skirt, and a pair of glossy loafers, this combination is inherently simple. Consider it if you prefer to keep things effortless.

Bella Hadid

Yes, a barn jacket is a fall essential, but it can also work for spring. Bella Hadid proves just that, wearing the rugged outerwear style with white bottoms and a matching tee for a warm-weather feel. Follow her lead and throw some classic accessories into the mix—like a hardware-adorned belt, shimmering gold earrings, and wide-frame shades.

Hailey Bieber

Perhaps you’re going out for drinks with your beau or hitting up a local hotspot with your gals. Whatever the nighttime plan might be, you can always count on a trusty all-black outfit—and Hailey Bieber thinks so, too. Last month, the Rhode founder attended a dinner party wearing a satin top, a micro-mini skirt, and a set of flip-flop sandals (which just so happen to be one of spring’s most coveted shoe trends).

Gigi Hadid

Tomato girl spring has arrived, and Gigi Hadid is fully on board. The model championed the tasty color with a puff-sleeve buttoned sweater from her knitwear brand Guest in Residence. You’ll find her exact top below, along with straight-leg jeans and leather loafers to complete the look.

If Role Model had been more specific about what Sally looks like in "Sally, When the Wine Runs Out," I assume she'd be the spitting image of Dakota Johnson—down to the "wild card" street style. Her strawberry red barn jacket on their April 22 date is worth writing a chart-topping song about.

The power couple's first trip to New York City together started with an arm-in-arm stroll through Manhattan. The Spring 2026 color trend atop Johnson's sold-out The Row coat made them unmissable. Meet their third-wheel: the cotton-canvas, Elodianna barn jacket covered in a garden-fresh shade of strawberry red. Maybe Johnson sized up once, judging by its slight slouch along the button-down closure, cargo-flap pockets, and unused waist-cinching drawstring. In true barn jacket form, a contrasting black collar juxtaposed the maximalist tint, while kickstarting the rest of her outfit's color story.

Then, the Materialists actor traded sky-blue denim for black, straight-leg jeans from Rihanna-beloved brand AGOLDE. Her $238 pair matched velvet ballet flats from The Row, the bow-tied pair that's remained by the couple's side all month. Despite wearing them for three straight dates, Johnson's signature spring shoe is still shoppable. The same cannot be said of her next The Row pull.

It's difficult to see beneath her boyfriend's brown leather bomber jacket, but Johnson's favorite The Row Astra Bag made it to NYC. Much like her slippers, the burgundy bowling bag has been spotted on all of their public-facing dates this month. You may also recognize her oval-shaped Prada sunglasses, Cartier Love hoop earrings, or pinky Jessica McCormack ring from either of their April meet-ups in L.A.

Every element of Johnson's off-duty 'fit felt like something her Materialists character would wear. Role Model matched his girlfriend's energy in a gray V-neck sweater, dark-wash jeans, a leather jacket, and stark white sneakers. The Maine native's baseball cap ended his streetwear set on a very Chris Evans in Materialists note.

Judging by their couples' style, the two seem to be cut from the same effortlessly-cool cloth. Wednesday marked the first time such a pigmented Spring 2026 color trend joined their date, though. Perhaps while in town, Johnson wanted to channel Jennifer Lawrence and Katie Holmes. Both New York It girls pulled off the shade's blue undertones this week, after seeing it on Miu Miu, Diotima, and Prada's runways. Being in such close proximity to Johnson might influence Role Model to follow suit.

Dakota Johnson is officially in Rome, ready to start shooting the fable-to-film adaptation of Three Incestuous Sisters. On April 18, with her first day on set fast approaching, Johnson and co-star Jessie Buckley played tourist while they still could. Johnson's slip dress and ballet flats outfit looked so divine, it would've shined on any silver screen. Selfishly, fashion girls like myself are grateful it got an early close-up.

Johnson was obviously overjoyed to be back in Italy after nine months away. The Eternal City has always brought out the best fashion in her, as evidenced by her effortlessly chic slip dress from London label Hai. She's the latest A-lister to sample the slip's second coming, following Rihanna, Meghan Markle, and Sarah Pidgeon. (Johnson got a head start on the trend in Italy last summer, when she paired a black tank with a silky white skirt.)

The Florence Dress (how fitting) featured a scooped, tank top-esque neckline, a slightly tailored waist, and a calf-grazing hem. Buttery-smooth satin silk in baby blue only amplified its "easy-to-throw-on" energy, just like the brand hoped it would. The Materialists actor could've elevated it with a blazer and a spring sandal trend, but her black, minimalist accessories embraced its simplicity.

First, Johnson draped the sleeves of her cardigan over her shoulders, Kendall Jenner-style. Then, tomato-red leather on The Row's Astra bowling bag emerged ever-so-slightly beneath her shoulder. The $2,450 shoulder style is quickly becoming her signature purse of the season, having worn it on two dates with rumored boyfriend Role Model.

To finish, Johnson traded tourist-approved sneakers for bow-tied ballet flats with hardly any soles at all. (They looked just as slipper-adjacent as the velvet The Row pair she wore with jeans and a Dôen boho blouse earlier this month.) Plus, the shoe trend matched her more subtle accessories, including a pendant necklace and oval-shaped Prada sunglasses.

Johnson's "when in Rome" look was the epitome of easy-breezy elegance. Clearly, Buckley is already being influenced by her co-star's personal style: She paired a polka-dotted maxi dress with red Mary Janes. (Johnson owns an almost-identical patent pair, except the vamps boast criss-cross straps.) No one is free from her sartorial prowess, not even fellow VIPs.

Whether or not Johnson sticks to slips-and-slippers this spring, her foolproof uniform is worth shopping below. Extra points if it joins you on an Italian getaway.

There's a new It fashion couple in town. Dakota Johnson and "Sally, When the Wine Runs Out" singer Role Model are reportedly a few months into their relationship, and they're proving to have as much street-style suave as Zoë Kravitz and Harry Styles.

On April 5, the two were spotted outside an Easter Sunday soirée at Jeremy Allen White's house (casual) in coordinating couple style. The Materialists actor set their easy-breezy sartorial tone in a white, puff-sleeve boho blouse tucked into light-wash, straight-leg jeans. We even got a proper look at her black The Row ballet flats, which boasted ballerina-approved bows and a soft velvet sheen. And because one The Row best-seller is never enough for fashion girls, Johnson also carried the bowling-shaped Astra Bag in the Spring 2026 burgundy color trend.

Being in a relationship with a style muse like Johnson means you have to dress the part. So, Role Model mimicked her ensemble in a white button-down and straight-leg jeans, except his were a borderline-black shade of chocolate brown. He finished it off with the soft loafers trend, which he's worn on and off-stage since 2022.

Johnson and Role Model's holiday weekend was spent holding down the celebrity couple fashion fort, especially since Kravitz and Styles have been off the grid in Rome for weeks. It all began on April 3, when they showed PDA in moody, equally-complementary outfits—Johnson in a La Ligne cardigan, green Bode blouse, black The Row trousers, and the same velvet ballet flats; Role Model in a navy blue T-shirt and wide-leg trousers. If they look this chic a few months in, imagine how fabulous their first joint red carpet walk will be.

Any designer tote can double as a 2026 laptop bag with the right dimensions. Just ask the busiest women in Hollywood.

With celebrities running production companies, beauty brands, and even book clubs these days, it's rare for your favorite style muse to step out without a bottomless bag in tow. Fitting an A-lister's entire life—plus a 13-inch laptop—into one shoulder style is no small feat, but with the right silhouette, it's possible.

Where non-VIP shoppers prioritize roominess as their top non-negotiable, fashion girls make an effort to test laptop bags from their signature labels. For instance, Kendall Jenner's $4,900 Alger Tote from The Row would've easily carried Apple's 14-inch MacBook Pro, while matching the '90s nostalgia of her straight-leg jeans and slipper-looking loafers on Jan. 27. Meanwhile, longtime Dior darling Jennifer Lawrence jetted home from Jonathan Anderson's couture fashion show with the Dracula Book Tote atop her carry-on. Its 14-inch, fresh-from-the-library body would've fit a few hardcovers, a laptop, and then some.

Jenner and J.Law aren't the only fashion girls giving designer handbags the laptop-proof treatment this year. Pamela Anderson, Zoë Kravitz, and Nicole Kidman wear sizable styles from Tory Burch, Saint Laurent, and Chanel, respectively—the brands they source the most. Keep scrolling for 2026's 12 best celebrity-worn work bags so far. Then, upgrade yours by shopping each star's exact select.

Kendall Jenner's The Row Alger Work Bag

Most of Jenner's The Row bags are capable of holding laptops and sold-out, including the Margaux and the Henri. But on Jan. 27, the $4,900 Alger Tote gave fans the chance to secure a still-shoppable tote beloved by Jenner. As is custom for the Olsen twins-led label, not a single logo, sequin, or pop of color decorated the bag's curved, 18.11-inch-long leather exterior.

Jennifer Lawrence's Dior Book Tote

Lawrence first realized the Dior Book Tote's laptop bag potential in 2018. It's only right that creative director Jonathan Anderson's circa-Spring 2026 version joined Lawrence on the Jan. 28 flight after his Paris Couture Fashion Week show. The vibrant Dracula version looked filled to the brim atop the brand ambassador's carry-on in JFK Airport.

Kaia Gerber's Paloma Wool Philana Work Bag

Despite owning the Paloma Wool Philana since Oct. 2024, the under-$500 piece is still Kaia Gerber's go-to laptop bag. On Feb. 5 specifically, she used its silver grommets to liven up classic workwear like a khaki trench coat, flared navy trousers, and Repetto ballet flats. Its crinkled leather can comfortably hold a 13-inch laptop, while bringing out a corporate girlie's grunge side.

Pamela Anderson's Tory Burch Romy Work Bag

The morning before Tory Burch's Feb. 11 fashion show, Pamela Anderson hinted at her RSVP by debuting the New York label's $595 Romy Tote. The deep brown Romy revived the belt bag trend of yester-summer. At the same time, elongated shoulder straps and an adjustable, 13-inch body made it as office-ready as a traditional briefcase.

Dua Lipa's Bottega Veneta Maxi Veneta Work Bag

The trophy for Priciest Laptop Bag of 2026 goes to Dua Lipa's Bottega Veneta Maxi Veneta, no question. Her Feb. 21 Instagram post spotlighted the largest—and most expensive—model in black Intrecciato leather. The Spring 2026, single-strap style stretched so far (23.2 inches, to be exact), it could keep a 16-inch laptop, plus an additional tablet or two safe.

Nicole Kidman's Chanel Maxi Shopping Bag

The Chanel Maxi Flap isn't the Matthieu Blazy-led label's only laptop bag option, as proven by Kidman's top-handle tote on March 3. The brand ambassador chose the quilted, chocolate brown Maxi Shopping Bag, which is just as tall as it is wide. What's more, the $8,500 bag's canvas drawstring interior would protect Kidman's (hypothetical) 16-inch laptop as cautiously as a computer case.

Zoë Kravitz's Saint Laurent Le Bea Work Bag

Kravitz, a bona fide Saint Laurent Le Bea babe since 2023, recently revived the black, $4,100 leather tote for 2026. This March, she paired it with two separate office-friendly sets, including the Penny Lane coat trend and flared trousers. Expandable gussets atop each sidewall stretched the already-wide body to 19 inches.

Dakota Johnson's Vintage Prada Tote

Given Hollywood's affinity for vintage, it's no surprise Dakota Johnson's favorite laptop bag is a one-of-a-kind Prada find. The exact dimensions of her top-handle, zip-up tote remain a mystery, but after studying other laptop bags, I can confidently say it could hold at least a 13-inch MacBook. Plus, its patterned exterior married two Spring 2026 trends: leopard-print and pony-hair.

Sarah Pidgeon's Balenciaga Rodeo Work Bag

Earlier in March, Marie Claire's fashion features editor, Emma Childs, called the Balenciaga Rodeo "the dark-horse bag trend of 2026." It originally snuck up on the street style scene late last year, when Lady Gaga, Lori Harvey, and Lipa fell for its no-fuss charm. By March 5, Love Story star Sarah Pidgeon gave the brown leather Rodeo a proper close-up at Paris Fashion Week. It's available in mini, small, and medium sizes. Pidgeon chose the latter, which could hide a 13-inch laptop beneath its turn-lock closure-turned-flap.

Rose Byrne's Longchamp Le Smart Work Bag

Longchamp's Le Pliage has reigned supreme as the laptop bag for years. It even earned the title of "Best Laptop Bag" after Marie Claire tested 17 alternatives. On March 5, Rose Byrne offered Longchamp's Le Smart as healthy competition. In lieu of the Pliage's dedicated top flap, a slim belt added dimension to the "soft, refined calfskin." That luxe leather also makes the Le Smart over $1,000 more expensive than its waterproof predecessor.

Bella Hadid's Loewe Amazona Work Bag

Bella Hadid's first Loewe purse just so happened to be the large, laptop-approved Amazona, which helped pioneer 2026's leading single-strap bag trend. Four curved corners and the center's zip-top closure kept all the contents safe and sound on March 12, while a blink-and-you'll-miss-it emblem looked just as sleek as her indigo, straight-leg jeans and white T-shirt.

Hailey Bieber's Chanel Maxi Flap Work Bag

It's tricky to track down a designer bag that can hold one laptop, let alone multiple. Hailey Bieber's Chanel Maxi Flap is that girl. Black pebbled leather covered every square inch of the top-handle tote, including the envelope-style flap and an extra-long hem. Whether or not she slipped a laptop inside on March 13, the less-than-structured leather kept the Maxi Flap purposefully slouchy—a spacious feature any fashion insider would fly across countries for.

Dakota Johnson is known for many things, including her impressive collection of sneakers. Regularly photographed leaving workout sessions, the Materialists star has been spotted wearing everything from Adidas Samba OGs to chunky "dadcore" sneakers. But when it comes to Johnson's most-worn sneaker styles, Nike's V2Ks continue to secure the coveted role.

Having made it clear she's still attached to her Nike V2Ks—which she owns in multiple shades—in 2026, Johnson was photographed on March 27 leaving a class wearing the celeb-beloved footwear. Jennifer Lawrence is another known fan of the V2K style, and Kaia Gerber also owns a pair of the affordable sneakers.

For this particular outing, Johnson opted for Nike V2Ks in the Summit White/Metallic Silver shade, which retail for $125.

Along with her metallic sneakers, the Madame Web star wore a bright red Lululemon Wunder Train Strappy Racer Bra with a pair of high-waisted black leggings. The actress accessorized her outfit with Adidas Originals Trefoil Crew Socks and L.G.R Marrakech Sunglasses in a blue gradient.

Johnson elevated her workout style even further with a $1,070 Cartier Love Single Hoop Earring and Yvonne Léon's Paire De Créoles Diamantées PM or Jaune Earrings.

As usual, the actress's workout clothing has provided fans with a ton of inspiration for upgrading their own closets.

Dakota Johnson arrived in New York for fashion week on February 11 and immediately caught everyone's attention with her leopard-print Prada bag. On Friday, February 13, the Materialists star made an appearance at Calvin Klein's FW26 show wearing an outfit from the designer's Spring '26 collection and some seriously luxe accessories.

Johnson was photographed arriving at the star-studded fashion show wearing a black Calvin Klein suit, consisting of a black blazer, which was knotted at the waist, and a draped skirt. She accessorized the runway outfit with a pair of Aquazzura's Sellier Boot 105 in Black, which retail for $1,675, and a white leather bag, also from Calvin Klein.

Johnson elevated her already-sleek outfit with approximately $46,000-worth of jewelry. The actress opted for Yvonne Leon's $2,500 Mini Créoles Diamantées, Verdura's $21,500 "Night" Band Ring, Jessica McCormack's $18,000 1ct Diamond and Blackened Gold Button Back Ring, and a $4,000 Bespoke Memorandum Ring from 5683 (identified by @closetofdakotajohnson).

Finally, a pair of Khaite x Oliver Peoples 1993C Sunglasses completed the look. Hopefully Johnson will be making multiple New York Fashion Week appearances this season, as her style choices never fail to delight onlookers.

It's finally happening: Dakota Johnson has returned to New York City just in time for fashion week. On February 11, the first day of Fashion Month, paparazzi spotted the front-row regular in a less-than-incognito street style look, starring a vintage leopard-print Prada bag. Fingers crossed she (and her Prada plus-one) pop up on the sidelines of a fashion show in the coming days.

Wednesday afternoon marked the L.A. local's first foray onto the NYC street style scene in 2026. Looking every bit an honorary New Yorker, Johnson tried to maintain a low-profile in an Officine Générale pea coat. Buttery-soft suede covered the entire double-breasted select, even its fringed sleeves. She stacked it on top of a cashmere crewneck from Gigi Hadid's knitwear label, Guest In Residence. Its chili red color gave away Johnson's identity immediately. (It's one of her signature off-duty shades.)

Black ‘90s Pinch Waist High-Rise Jeans from Rihanna-approved brand AGOLDE resumed the moody color palette. Ankle-grazing hems covered the lace-up shafts on Johnson's patent leather, $1,160 LEGRES boots. Even her oval-shaped Prada sunglasses and New York Mets baseball cap got the noir memo.

The Materialists actor rarely returns to Tribeca without at least one leopard-print piece in tow. Last December, a $11,000 fur-trimmed coat from Valentino made the cut. This time around, the trending animal pattern stretched onto her vintage Prada top-handle tote. Contrary to her coat's wool exterior, the leopard print boasted good-as-new pony hair, which resumed on the straps.

It's unclear when or where Johnson scored the style, but perhaps it hailed from the same collection as Jennifer Lawrence's leopard-print Prada purse. Both styles—though different in silhouette—are quite literally cut from the same black and brown, pony-hair cloth.

No Johnson look is complete without at least five-figures' worth of jewelry. The actor's gold, Yvonne Léon hoop earrings, for one, hit €2,500 once nine carats of diamonds frosted each center. Laoli's Rouge Necklace—made of thick, red agate beads—added $1,450 to the total.

Jessica McCormack's signature $18,000 button-back ring stood out alongside other bands from Vendura Jewelry and Annika Inez Jewelry. Believe it or not, Johnson's stacks get even more lavish than this. (Go on, revisit her Jessica McCormack sparklers at the Valentino Spring 2026 Couture show last month.)

If the rumors are true, and Johnson is in NYC for fashion week, she'll be ending a 10-year hiatus from the front row. Sure, she's attended recent New York Fashion Week events, including a 2025 Bulgari party and the 2024 Kering Caring For Women Dinner. But she's RSVP'd "no" to official NYFW shows since 2015.

Fashion girls know Johnson prioritizes Milan and Paris Fashion Weeks above all. Even if she skips the front row again, keep your eyes peeled for a Johnson sighting at Valentino's Fall 2026 show in Rome. She's Alessandro Michele's most loyal brand ambassador, after all.

Shop New York Fashion Week Styles Inspired by Dakota Johnson

Now that Dakota Johnson is Alessandro Michele's brand ambassador again, a front-row sighting at his Valentino shows is all but guaranteed. On January 28, a pantless Johnson cashed in her invite at Michele's return to Haute Couture Week—her first couture show since 2014.

Johnson joined Tyla, Kirsten Dunst, Lily Allen, and more inside the Parisian venue following the evening's dress code: head-to-toe Valentino. However, the Pre-Fall 2026 selects she chose with stylist Kate Young were missing a major element: trousers or a skirt. Look 3's '80s-inspired set instead incorporated nothing but two bow-tied, leopard print blouses and a pair of translucent hot pants. Michele crafted the underwear-as-outerwear moment from black, semi-sheer lace, which complemented Johnson's brown, floral-printed tights.

Johnson made some adjustments from the original look book styling. She swapped in a pair of thin hoop earrings, and traded green-tinted, shield sunglasses for a clear cat-eye pair. (Those only appeared outside the venue.)

A $2,100 Valentino Garavani DeVain Shoulder Bag provided a pop of color, featuring mossy green and gold texture straight from the moors. You may recognize its top-flap closure and "V" emblem from Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter, and Chase Sui Wonders's closets. Johnson owns the wallet-like bag in black leather, too.

Finally, Johnson endorsed the circa-2010 Rockstud Stiletto's comeback with a pointy black pair, in lieu of the model's stark white shade. Perhaps this is her contribution to the 2016 style revival. If anyone can make Valentino Rockstuds a celebrity staple again, it's her.

Until now, Johnson has supported Michele from afar with a campaign, her 2025 Governors Awards gown, and Valentino-centric street style looks aplenty. (She rarely took off the label's $11,000 leopard-print coat in New York City last month.) But the Materialists actor couldn't miss Michele's first show after Valentino Garavanni's passing on Jan. 19.

"What we do today takes place within a history not of our making, in a house long inhabited, rich with traces and gestures," Michele shared on Instagram before the show. "Being called to guard this legacy, if only for a time, summons me. His passing does not stop the movement he set in motion."

Dakota Johnson hasn't graced a haute couture show since Chanel's Fall/Winter 2015 collection, held in July 2014. She chose a meaningful moment to revisit the circuit—and to take a welcome styling risk.

For the second day in a row, Dakota Johnson demonstrated her devotion to Nike V2K sneakers in L.A.

On January 15, she was once again photographed leaving her go-to Tracy Anderson studio looking energized and accomplished. (That she was met with a parking ticket on her car's windshield—and paparazzi to capture the whole thing—was an unfortunate turn of events.) She was, of course, athleisure-clad for her cardio class in a white sports bra, black Lululemon leggings, and an oversize T-shirt (wrapped bolero-style around her shoulders).

Her outfit wouldn't be complete without one of her trusty pairs of Nike V2K. This time, she swapped out her black ones for the sold-out Psychic Blue colorway, which is made of cerulean mesh, metallic silver swoops, and heightened ivory soles.

Judging by Johnson's end-of-year looks, it seems she reserves her chunkiest sneakers for Tracy Anderson classes, considering they have a "comfortable running shoe" footwear requirement. For street style strolls, she prefers slim Adidas Samba-like shoes—see her cool-toned green pair on Dec. 23, 2025. Don't worry, her Nike V2Ks still get plenty of spotlight.

Further proof that she's a creature of habit: She's wearing the same Khaite x Oliver People sunglasses she's often spotted in.

When Dakota Johnson puts her mind to something—say, wearing a Nike sneaker all the way to It-shoe status—there's no stopping her. See: her devotion to her Nike V2Ks in 2025. It looks like that's not changing in the new year, as she's already worn her favorite sneakers to four workout classes in 2026.

On January 13, Johnson was welcomed back to Tracy Anderson's L.A. studio, her go-to. She arrived in her signature athleisure set: black Lululemon leggings, a matching sports bra, and Nike V2Ks. (This time, a hot pink tank top brightened up her workout outfit.) She usually rotates between three different colors of the sneaker—white and silver, blue, and black. All of them fit Anderson's "comfortable running shoe" footwear requirement with ease, but Tuesday's class called for her Dark Grey Burgundy Crush V2Ks (translation: black with charcoal accents).

Since debuting her first pair in April 2025, Johnson's black $135 Nikes have earned the most street time of the three shades. Perhaps that's because they help the A-lister go incognito, while cerulean blue soles are impossible for paparazzi to miss. Either way, Johnson is loyal to the Nike V2K's chunky midsole and extra-cushioned heel. The actor's influence could declare them the ultimate Tracy Anderson shoe by February.

Johnson is holding down the Nike V2K fort this year; fellow sneakerhead Jennifer Lawrence hasn't publicly styled her pair since Oct. 2025, when she wore it with an anti-athleisure Almada Label coat, Loewe trousers, and a suede Gimaguas tote. Similar to the Materialists actor, Lawrence's shoe rack boasts white and black pairs, though the latter features metallic silver swoops.

Surprisingly, Johnson's Nike V2Ks didn't make the cut on Marie Claire's best-selling sneakers of 2025 report; Taekwondos, Sambas, Tokyos, and more Adidas shoes filled the top spots. At this rate, however, Johnson (and her loyal fans) could secure top billing for the Nike V2Ks come Dec. 2026. Shop the curated edit below to do your part.

Dakota Johnson doesn't subscribe to the "new year, new me" motto, not even for her Nike V2K sneaker collection. Johnson's 2026 street style debut on Jan. 5 looked straight out of summer 2025, starring her go-to shoe.

Tracy Anderson's internet-famous workout served as the backdrop for her first athleisure look of the year. The Materialists actor exercised in a black scoop-neck bra and matching high-rise leggings, both from Lululemon. The familiarities continued on the footwear front.

Per the studio's website, the Tracy Anderson Method's "impact cardio" requires a "comfortable running shoe" during each class. Johnson narrowed down her preferred pick in April 2025: the Nike V2K sneaker, in black, white, or blue. This time, the latter color made the cut, featuring a cerulean mesh foundation, metallic silver swooshes, and heightened off-white soles.

Blue Nike V2Ks joined Johnson's shoe rack last June, when she initially coupled them with an oversize crewneck, in a similar shade of cool-toned blue. Now, she lets the chunky sneakers shine with neutrals.

As recent as Dec. 27, 2025, Johnson styled the same exercise gear for another Tracy Anderson class, down to the Nike V2Ks. Black padding atop the treads and ankles complemented her understated Lululemon set. (Look familiar?) Even her beloved Khaite x Oliver Peoples sunglasses returned to the mix come January.

Clearly, Johnson has her Tracy Anderson attire down to a science. She's not the only one: Fellow Nike V2K enthusiasts, including Jennifer Lawrence and Kaia Gerber, follow similar streetwear formulas.

J.Law, for one, rewears the $125 sneakers (in black or white) with the baggiest bottoms in her closet. Usually, fans have to zoom in to spot their reflective trim or chunky soles. April 2026 will mark two years since Gerber wore her Summit White/Metallic Silver pair. She's since pledged loyalty to On Cloud sneakers—but back in 2024, the model religiously coupled the Nikes with Alo Yoga leggings and a four-figure The Row coat.

In Hollywood, it's rare for a sneaker this striking to be so widely shared by celebrities. Kendall Jenner's Asics might need to watch out: the Nike V2Ks are primed for top billing in 2026, once again.

Two famous people being seen together is enough for dating rumors to begin—even better if they're both single. So, naturally, when Dakota Johnson was spotted with Role Model, the gossip began.

As reported by TMZ, Johnson and Role Model (real name: Tucker Pillsbury) recently got dinner with a couple of other people. (Most of us can probably say the same of our own social lives.)

Photos published by TMZ show the Madame Web star and "Sally, When the Wine Runs Out" singer sitting next to each other during the outing. According to TMZ, "Sources tell us Dakota was lying on him all cuddled up at the cozy dinner." They also were said to have been "engulfed in conversation with another dinner guest."

Marie Claire has reached out to reps for Johnson and Role Model for comment.

Obviously, the actor and musician could just be friends who were having a meal together, so take this gossip with a grain of salt. But, they are both said to be single at the moment.

In June, People reported that Johnson and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin had ended their eight-year relationship. While she hasn't spoken out about the breakup, she did share some of her insight into her feelings about relationships in an interview with the Los Angeles Times in June.

"For a long time we’ve all been so quick to judge relationships or how they should happen, how they should exist in the world," Johnson said while talking about her movie Materialists. "When people should get married. Divorce is bad. All these things that actually, if you think about it, why is divorce bad? Why do people have to get married or at a certain age or only once? Why? It doesn’t matter."

As for Role Model, he previously dated YouTuber Emma Chamberlain for three years with that relationship ending in 2023, according to E! News.

"I have no regrets, and it’s a beautiful time in my life that I’m proud of," Role Model told Nylon of his relationship with Chamberlain in 2024. "I honestly never thought I would be in a relationship for three and a half years, and the fact that I was and that it was beautiful pretty much the entire time— I'm just very thankful. At the end of the day, I think the best thing I took away from it is knowing that I can do that and knowing that I can do that again at some point when I want to or when I’m ready."

If you didn't already have "patent leather sneakers" on your 2026 bingo card, I'd suggest adding it now. Because according to Dakota Johnson, the glossy footwear trend will soon make the big time.

On Monday, Dec. 23, Johnson popped out for a bit of pre-Christmas shopping with her mom Melanie Griffith in Los Angeles. Her outfit struck the perfect note on the holiday dressing spectrum, falling in the middle ground between "festive glamour" and "casual cool."

The Materialists actor was dressed for the holiday season, cloaked in faux fur and a smattering of posh accessories. She effectively elevated the classic T-Shirt and Jeans™ look with a plush statement coat (vintage, by the looks of it) covered in bold leopard spots. The rest of her 'fit was straight out of the minimalist's playbook, styled with a simple leather belt, a beaded necklace, and tortoise shell cat-eye sunglasses from Khaite x Oliver Peoples.

The proverbial bow on top of Johnson's look was a pair of glossy, patent leather sneakers. The shoe in question? Adidas Samba OGs. The unexpected finish made 2024's most popular shoe feel straight out of 2026.

Honestly, it was really thoughtful of her to hard-launch this sneaker trend right before the after-Christmas sales.

Reflecting over the last year, there have been signs that the baggy jeans phenomenon was on its way out. Celebrities shelved the wide-leg jeans they wore every day in 2024, and brands started showing indie-sleaze skinnies on their runways. That has left the door open for the return of cigarette jeans, a slim-but-not-totally-skinny Goldilocks style that has the potential to be 2026’s defining denim trend.

Characterized by their slender silhouette and straight cut from knee to ankle, resembling the cylinder they’re named after, cigarette jeans rose to popularity in the '80s as a minimal alternative to ‘70s flares. It’s a similar pendulum swing to what we’re seeing now: After years of Gen Z’s signature Big Pant, Tiny Top outfit formula and stars like Katie Holmes in jeans so baggy they look like maxi skirts, fashion is now leaning towards cleaner lines and slimmer fits. (See: Dior, Balenciaga, Brandon Maxwell, and Khaite's Spring 2026 collections.)

That said, cigarette jeans trending today won’t be an automatic "yes" for everyone. Their renaissance may even be cringe-inducing for some, conjuring memories of acid-washed pairs worn with Converse high-tops and perms. For those who weren’t alive during their initial boom, they may not know where to begin with styling jeans that don't blow in the wind.

To that end, we’ve curated seven actually chic, easy-to-recreate outfits featuring cigarette jeans, worn by It girls through the ages. Who better to offer tips on styling the slim-ish denim than the women who can make any item look cool, from today's most powerful tastemakers to those who first popularized the style three and a half decades ago?

Cindy Crawford: Cigarette Jeans With a Leather Blazer and Ankle Boots

To kick things off, we have Cindy Crawford back in 1991, wearing light-wash cigarette jeans with a black leather blazer, a dark turtleneck sweater, and brown leather, pointed-toe Chelsea boots—the perfect complement to a dark chocolate-colored suede belt. The styling will work just as well today, especially considering that chocolate brown is a top color trend and leather blazers are a wardrobe classic on par with trench coats.

Kendall Jenner: Cigarette Jeans With a Cropped Coat and Ballet Flats

Kendall Jenner, arguably the minimalist style icon of the 2020s, was an early co-signer of the modern cigarette jeans renaissance. In May 2025, the model approached the straight-leg black denim by teaming it with a simple suede jacket and black ballet flats. If you look closely, you'll see her shoes are made of pony hair, a burgeoning textile that's nipping at the heels of the suede trend.

Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy: Cigarette Jeans With a Black Top Coat and Loafers

But of course, there's no woman more synonymous with minimalist fashion than Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. The late Calvin Klein publicist was revered (and still is to this day) for her uncontroversial, pared-back style that, crucially, never came across as boring. This straight-leg denim, basic black turtleneck, and single-breasted wool topcoat outfit formula is a case in point the fashion M.O. that has made her a forever fashion icon.

Rihanna: Cigarette Jeans With a Fur Jacket and Statement Handbag

As the arbiter of cool, when Rihanna endorses a fashion trend, that's when you know the style will stick around. That's as true of one-strap bags as it is of cigarette jeans. Take a cue from RiRi and reach for a light-wash pair, a graphic faux fur coat in black and white, and a pop-of-color bag. (She opted for a tangerine Fendi baguette bag, which you're more than welcome to do as well.)

Princess Diana: Cigarette Jeans With a Blazer and Riding Boots

You know this Princess Diana outfit. You may have even worn a version of it already. Light-wash cigarette jeans tucked into riding boots, paired with a graphic crewneck sweater and an oversized blazer—it's quintessential of the preppy, aspirational-meets-attainable style that made her the people's princess and a beloved figure in culture and fashion. The combination still exudes her signature cool-girl nonchalance today.

Halle Berry: Cigarette Jeans With a Leopard Coat and Velvet Top

Ten years before Halle Berry would slip into a black latex suit and take on the role of Catwoman, she expressed her feline energy in the form of a leopard-print coat (which happens to be an explosive outerwear trend at the moment). Replicate her outfit with a similarly spotted coat, a velvet turtleneck, and a very '90s-looking pair of wire-frame sunglasses. It's a clever way to add edge and personality to a more neutral pair of cigarette jeans.

Dakota Johnson: Cigarette Jeans With a Brown Fur Coat and Suede Bag

Last but in absolutely no way least: Dakota Johnson. The Materialists star is known for integrating fashion trends into her polished but never stuffy, minimal-with-a-twist style. (Did you see her take on triangle scarves?) This look, which just so happens to include straight-leg jeans, captures her fashion ethos perfectly: a plush fur coat, suede tote bag, baseball cap, and lug-sole, top-zip boots that tick off multiple Winter 2026 shoe trends.

Live from New York, there was a familiar bangs-clad silhouette visible behind a curtain during Lily Allen's Saturday Night Live performance on December 13. Dakota Johnson made a surprise appearance as "Madeline" wearing an in-character lingerie-inspired look, before changing into a second after-party-proof semi-sheer set.

Almost a year after Johnson's latest SNL hosting gig, the musical guest welcomed her back to 30 Rockefeller Center to portray the titular character of one of the internet's favorite tracks from Allen's fifth studio album, West End Girl. Even before she stepped out from behind the curtain, longtime fans recognized her voice reciting the lyrics: "He told me that you were aware this was going on and that he had your full consent."

The Materialists star wore sultry pieces from Bode, styled by Kate Young: the thigh-grazing Corinthia Teddy, a $900 spaghetti-strap slip with a scalloped lace skirt inspired by 1920s-era lingerie; and the $1,380 Sheer Fête Duster, which is decorated with crinkled gold foil appliqués from top to bottom.

Dakota-as-Madeline's look, including the peekaboo bra and thong, could've been plucked straight from Johnson's closet. You know how the street-style star feels about dressing sexy—she told Vogue Germany as much in November: "I really don't care...I've been able to wear some of the most beautiful dresses, and I feel beautiful in them, so I wear them."

Johnson's Bode selects were undeniably beautiful, especially alongside her emerald-centric jewelry. Her décolletage boasted a sold-out, $320 green necklace from Roxanne Assoulin, which contrasted against her fuchsia Lizzie Fortunato fringe earrings. Personalized diamond rings from Sophie Bille Brahe frosted her hands, mere days after their street style debut on Dec. 11.

The actor's now-signature sparklers returned to the silver screen during host Josh O'Connor's final bow. She and Allen remained attached at the hip, both in lacy designer looks. The singer chose an asymmetrical Saint Laurent mini dress, while Johnson pulled off a color-blocked pink-and-royal-blue, consisting of a short-sleeve, see-through lace turtleneck (with a black balconette bra underneath) and satin high-waisted trousers. Diamond drop earrings replaced her Lizzie Fortunato danglers, signaling to audiences she was no longer in character.

SNL's celebrity cameos have always been impossible to predict. Everyone from Mike Myers and Scarlett Johansson to Charli xcx and Barbra Streisand have snuck into Studio 8H undetected, ready to go viral in a skit or two. But Johnson's cameo will go down as one of the series' most fashion-forward. Good luck to all the surprise stars that follow her.

Shop Styles Inspired by Dakota Johnson's After-Party Attire

According to Marie Claire's fashion e-commerce editor, Julia Marzovilla, "No, you don't need to spend $11,000 on a winter coat." But if you're Dakota Johnson and have the means, go for it.

On December 11, the Materialists star did just that with one of Valentino's priciest pieces. (As Alessandro Michele's newest brand ambassador, she has an all-access pass to the creative director's catalog.) Johnson braved the New York City chill in the label's Fauve Eclat Coat, topped in leopard print from top to bottom. It was any fashion girl's ultimate puffer substitute, mainly for its voluminous, shearling trim along statement lapels and cuffs. A Michele-era bow hid the hook-and-eye closure from view, as well as Johnson's separates underneath.

No matter how chic a fur-lined coat may be, some styles aren't worth forking over $11,000, Marzovilla tells me. "However, as a shopping editor who lives for the thrill of clicking add to cart, this Dakota Johnson look is right up my alley," she says. Johnson is known for her "off-duty-cool altheisure." (See her recent Nike sneaker-clad looks.) So, a coat this maximalist is an unexpected yet welcome change for the street style star.

In terms of price, the Valentino Fauve Eclat beats every option on Johnson's current coat rack. Even her The Row Yeli Trench Coat (sold-out at $4,000) doesn't come close to its price tag.

Johnson matched her new layer's lavish energy with Valentino's equally-luxe Panthea Bag: a $3,800 shoulder bag, featuring a distinguishable chevron leather exterior. You may recognize its mixed-metal hardware from the shoulders of Anne Hathaway, Jenna Ortega, Bella Hadid, or Rihanna. Thanks to them, it became fall's biggest It-bag before the early September launch. Johnson was relatively late to the Panthea takeover, having only debuted it on Dec. 7. Clearly, she adores wearing the carry-all with the triangle scarf trend, as seen in her Dec. 7 look, too. (Johnson is partial to The Row sold-out rendition, but the market boasts look-alikes in almost any shade.)

Johnson finished her "coat is the outfit" combination with eye-catching jewelry, beginning with personalized "D" and "J" diamond rings from Sophie Bille Brahe. (Together, they set her back at least $24,000.) A black button-back ring clearly belonged to Jessica McCormack, the up-and-coming jeweler behind Zendaya's east-west engagement ring. Tortoiseshell sunglasses from Oliver Peoples x Khaite were just as opulent and nostalgic as Johnson's coat, except at a fraction of the price.

Johnson pulls off leopard all year round, even in the midst of summer: Last July, she wore a shoulder-padded trench from Khaite Fall 2025. I haven't spotted the $8,800 select since, but it doesn't matter now that the winterized sister style has taken over. Expect to see Johnson's Valentino coat a lot more this season. She'll likely wear it on the daily to get her money's worth.

New York City is in the throes of a beanie shortage this winter. The once-seasonal staple has been dethroned—not by another slouchy style, but an anti-hat trend instead. Meet the triangle scarf: the hair shield co-signed by Kendall Jenner, Zoë Kravitz, and most recently, Dakota Johnson.

As a longtime bangs owner, Johnson knows the struggle of wearing hats in the winter. Beanies, baseball caps, or trapper hats paste your previously-perfect fringe to your forehead. Triangle scarves, on the other hand, delicately adorn your hair without leaving stringy bangs in their wake.

Naturally, Johnson was ready to seamlessly integrate the triangle scarf trend into her wardrobe. The Row's Yeli Trench Coat began her Sunday afternoon set—its oversize cashmere-silk blend keeping her cozy in NYC's chill. Statement lapels just barely revealed her stark white T-shirt underneath, which likely boasted The Row tags, too. She tucked it into straight-leg jeans in her signature mid-wash shade.

The earthy color story continued with The Row's Hit Scarf, which Johnson tied loosely around her chocolate brown hair. By double-knotting the $750 knit beneath her chin, the diagonal hems flared atop the coat's epaulettes.

Last month, fashion features editor Emma Childs predicted triangle scarves would be the "underdog trend of this winter, and boy, do I love being right," she tells me. "Dakota's is a thicker, more substantial knit neckerchief, but the effect is the same as even the daintiest triangle scarves: cozy, vaguely French, and too cool to care."

Chunky socks and boots might've been the obvious choice for trekking through the city's sidewalks. Instead, the Materialists actor slipped on Mary Jane-inspired ballet flats from (you guessed it) The Row. The single-strap flats were made of black lambskin leather, like most The Row footwear on her shoe rack.

Sunday afternoon marked the $820 flats' second outing with Johnson. Two days prior, she wore them at the Red Sea Film Festival, alongside a T-shirt-style little black dress.

Johnson's The Row scarf almost stole the show from her four-figure tote bag, courtesy of Valentino. Creative director Alessandro Michele gifted his new ambassador the Panthea Shoulder Bag, after she modeled it for the brand's Cruise 2026 campaign. (It also recently joined Anne Hathaway, Jenna Ortega, Bella Hadid, and Rihanna's purse collections.)

Blink and you'll miss Johnson's other accessories, which barely peeked out beneath the cashmere triangle. She re-styled Phoebe Philo's silver Medallion Necklace over Completedworks Depths of Time Necklace, after the Red Sea Film Festival on Dec. 5. The duo complemented Johnson's statement ring from Sophie Buhai, a celebrity-adored L.A. jeweler for rare sparklers.

It's about time Johnson boarded the triangle scarf bandwagon. Everyone from Jennifer Lawrence to Zoë Kravitz has endorsed its rise to hero item status. Kravitz first tested the headpiece around NYC in late October. Her dark brown rendition also hailed from The Row, but unlike Johnson's, it hasn't sold out yet. The $670 Leomine Scarf instantly elevated her oversize hoodie, corduroy pants, and Vans sneakers. The Row's oval-shaped Ella Sunglasses upped the '50s film star energy.

If a category five triangle scarf trend takeover has touched down in your town, shop the Johnson-inspired selects below. Besides, your tried-and-true beanie could probably use a season off.

In 2025, designer necklaces went from big to bigger as celebrities traded itty-bitty chains for impossible-to-miss pendants. Dakota Johnson rarely leaves her house without a string of diamonds, amethyst, or beads around her décolletage. That's as true for her off-duty style as it is for her red-carpet wardrobe.

On December 5, the Materialists actor returned to the Red Sea Film Festival, the morning after her custom Alessandra Rich gown for the Giant premiere made headlines. Johnson and her beloved stylist, Kate Young, accepted the challenge of one-upping themselves with not one, but two looks that embraced 2025's biggest fashion trends.

First, there was her daytime look: a little black dress—featuring a plunging V-neck, T-shirt sleeves, and a fringed belt—that served as the blank canvas to her jewelry. All eyes went to her neck, where a Phoebe Philo sterling silver medallion necklace sat. (Jennifer Lawrence owns the same $1,350 model.)

She layered a beaded necklace from Completedworks, made from black onyx and recycled silver, on top. The $536 scene-stealer is also shoppable in green chalcedony, rose quartz, and pearls. You may be new to the London label, but celebrities certainly aren't: Everyone from Selena Gomez and Tracee Ellis Ross to Tessa Thompson and Lady Gaga adore its hand-crafted accessories.

Mere hours later, Johnson posed for photographers once again in Look 37 from Chloé's Fall 2025 collection. You'd think creative director Chemena Kamali created the white lace gown just for Johnson, judging by its sheer bodice and floor-grazing skirt. The tiered strips of lace atop her sleeves, bust, and hips are the only opaque elements.

The Chloé look marked a surprisingly boho-chic detour for Johnson. (Though she's partial to a designer look made entirely of lace—see: her drop-waist Gucci gown at the Zurich Film Festival in September.) Still, she opted out of the double yellow gold medallions the brand styled the gown with on the runway, letting the V-neck shine solo. You could barely see Johnson's strappy sandals beneath the dress's ruffled hem.

Film festivals bring out the best fashion out of Johnson. This year alone, she ended up on Marie Claire's best-dressed lists at Cannes, Tribeca, Karlovy Vary, and Zurich. We're staying tuned for more.

When Dakota Johnson touched down at the 2025 Red Sea International Film Festival on December 4, mere hours after debuting a white winter coat at The Hollywood Reporter's Annual Women In Entertainment Gala, fans suspected her four-month naked dress hiatus would end. Award season, after all, is the opportune time to take risks. Instead, longtime stylist Kate Young outfitted her in a surprisingly opaque, custom Alessandra Rich hip cut-out gown.

Johnson doesn't star in the film Giant, the premiere she attended on Thursday. Even so, her strapless gown's slashes stole the show. The bodice began with a plunging, V-shaped neckline, drawing the eye to the waist's cutouts. Blink and you'll miss the bow atop her navel. The droopy ribbon connected the top and floor-grazing skirt, before cutouts spread horizontally across her waist. Another angle revealed the opening continued onto Johnson's back.

Johnson's usual naked dresses hardly require any accessories. (See her necklace-less royal blue ballgown from Gucci.) Her Alessandra Rich select, on the other hand, acted as a blank canvas to project cascading diamonds.

The pièce de résistance was a bold collar-like necklace, decorated with pear-shaped diamonds from clasp to tip. More than five rows of nearly-identical stones descended beyond two seamless strands atop her décolletage. Then, Johnson upped the carat count with matching diamond drop earrings, also in silver hardware. With Chopard as the film festival's official partner, Young and Johnson had access to the Swiss label's vault. They chose the collector's item because, well, look at it.

Johnson's festival gown marks her second foray into designer cutouts. Last month, she starred in Valentino creative director Alessandro Michele's Valentino Cruise 2026 campaign, wearing a crimson red mini dress and white lace tights. The $9,900 mini, for one, featured two tiered cutouts atop her chiffon-centric bodice. Knots between each slash created diagonal sashes alongside an off-the-shoulder sweetheart neckline. The celebrity-beloved Valentino Panthea bag appeared close-by.

Naked dresses aren't for everyone, but strategically-placed cutouts could be the layman's alternative. Test the Johnson-backed trick this holiday season with the shoppable finds below.

Some fashion girls spend all year anticipating the early December reveal of Pantone's Color of the Year. It sets the tone for their closet's evolving color palette in the 365 days ahead, after all.

Now, it's time for the industry's elite to bid farewell to 2025's Mocha Mousse. The rich, warm brown is still going strong, popping up on Jennifer Lopez, Ella Purnell, Sofia Richie Grainge, and Rihanna this week alone. But on December 4, Mocha passed the torch to Pantone's 2026 Color of the Year.

Meet Cloud Dancer (PANTONE 11-4201, if you're curious), a perfect shade match to a stark white cloud in the sky. According to a press release, it embodies "a lofty white whose aerated presence acts as a whisper of calm and peace in a noisy world." Picture a blank canvas, freshly-fallen snow, a serene swan having a swim, or a crisp, brand-new T-shirt. The stark shade "quiets the mind, encouraging true relaxation and focus." Contrary to its "earthy refined" predecessor, Pantone hopes Cloud Dancer stimulates "creativity to breathe, making room for innovation."

A wide range of reactions welcomed the early-morning launch. "Perfection," said one commenter on Instagram, while others expected a more joy-inducing shade of green or blue. But Pantone's goal was to introduce "a billowy white imbued with serenity" to a world exploding with constant, colorful stimulation.

Cloud Dancer was certainly a surprise, but it's already a trending tone on the celebrity style circuit. Usually, stars require a few weeks to integrate the Color of the Year into their regular rotation. Cloud Dancer, on the other hand, is already widely beloved by Jennifer Lawrence, Dakota Johnson, Chase Infiniti, Priyanka Chopra, and Laura Harrier (to name a few).

It's a breath of fresh air on red carpets, including the 2025 Governors Awards on Nov. 16. Everyone from Anya Taylor-Joy and Zoey Deutch to Lawrence and Infiniti posed for photographers in Cloud Dancer-coded couture. Lawrence's delicately draped Dior gown and Infiniti's airy Louis Vuitton tulle shined amongst a sea of pastel picks. Taylor-Joy's sheer chiffon cape from Maison Margiela looked like it was crafted straight from the clouds.

Even the street style circuit is already overflowing with Cloud Dancer white. Last month, Taylor-Joy swapped one ivory shearling jacket for another stark white wrap coat. More recently, Selena Gomez paired an oversize Alo Yoga sweatshirt with split-sole Dior sneakers, both in snow white shades. Then on Dec. 3, Johnson proved the "coat is the outfit" theory correct in an eye-squinting white trench, which she barely took off at a The Hollywood Reporter luncheon.

Sure, Cloud Dancer season doesn't start until New Year's Day, but if Hollywood's elite is already styling it, you should, too. Shop the 16 styles below to add the 2026 Color of the Year into your winter wardrobe and beyond.

This time of year, your winter coat deserves just as much attention as your dress and heels. The right outerwear should extend your holiday party look, not disturb the momentum. Allow Dakota Johnson to show you how it's done.

On December 3, Johnson joined Kerry Washington, Chase Infiniti, Justine Lupe, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Goldie Hawn at The Hollywood Reporter's Annual Women In Entertainment Gala. Instead of checking her trench coat inside the Beverly Hills Hotel, the Materialists star treated it like the full outfit. (Little did fashion girls know, there was a little black dress hiding underneath.) The ankle-grazing coat began with oversize lapels, which created a flattering V-shaped neckline. Johnson knotted the belt oh-so effortlessly instead of looping it through the buckle.

The trench was the focal point of Johnson's look without even trying. She barely had to accessorize it, beginning with the Stowaway Crossbody Bag from Metier. She's the latest star—following Katie Holmes, Kaia Gerber, Anna Sawai, and Emily Ratajkowski—to shop the London label. To finish, Johnson popped on black pony-hair pumps from Khaite—a hint at the dress's tags underneath.

Once the luncheon ended, and it was time to walk the red carpet, Johnson finally took off her trench. Shockingly, the coat wasn't the outfit, but a part of her grand reveal. Stylist Kate Young sourced the Khaite Lotte Dress on Johnson's behalf: a skintight LBD crafted from a wool and silk blend, similar to her cloak.

"Strategically placed seams and darting" created a corset-like effect beneath the curved neck's bodice, as revealed in the dress's description. Its column hem stopped just below her knees, which ensured not a pinch of fabric peeked out from the trench.

Beforehand, the actor's jewelry (though minimal) was slightly overshadowed by her striking trench. The LBD, on the other hand, gave proper close-ups of the Lou Lou Drop Earrings and Onyx Division Ring, both from Sophie Buhai. (Fun fact: Jennifer Lawrence, Johnson's close friend, owns the same silver $695 earrings.)

Johnson's entire look—from the classic coat to sleek LBD—was a picture of festive elegance. What's more, her outerwear felt especially on-trend, too. Similar white styles popped up in Resort 2026 collections from Dior, Max Mara, Gucci, Celine, and Roberto Cavalli, encouraging fashion girls like Johnson to follow suit.

But Johnson is no stranger to white winter coats. Starting in 2016, she was loyal to snow white shearling from Chloé and The Row. Not much has changed since then—she sources both brand's outerwear options on repeat.

Fashion girls everywhere felt closet FOMO as time ran out on Cyber Monday. But on December 2, one final Black Friday sale came back to life: Nike marked down Dakota Johnson's favorite V2K sneakers in sync with her latest workout.

Last week, with Black Friday still days away, Nike's sneaker sale was one of the first to catch Marie Claire's eye. Both Johnson's V2Ks in black and Jennifer Lawrence's in white were 25 percent off the original prices—a gift we assumed would disappear once Cyber Monday became Time to Wince at Your Bank Account Tuesday. Even so, Nike gave belated shoppers another chance to shop a sneakerhead staple.

Johnson's $135 V2K Runs are still $101 with the code "Cyber." On Dec. 2, the Materialists actor took them out of storage, reminding those who missed out last weekend to score a pair now. The chunky dad-core sneakers revealed her identity to the paparazzi outside Tracy Anderson's gym in L.A. After testing them in class, Johnson took the treads from studio-to-street, their extra-cushioned soles and monochrome sidewalls on full display. She's owned the all-black colorway since April, and yet, the V2Ks looked good as new.

Johnson re-styled the Nike V2Ks like she usually does: with Lululemon leggings, an oversize hoodie, and a neutral sports bra. Lawrence, on the other hand, isn't afraid to dress them up.

In October, she elevated the equally-versatile white-and-black V2Ks with Loewe's take on the track pants trend, a four-figure wool coat from Almada Label, and a suede Gimaguas tote bag. Luckily for you, the Oscar winner's colorway is also still on sale. With the same "Cyber" code, you can shop her early-aughts-inspired shoes for $94.

Since Nike wants every sneakerhead to find Johnson's V2Ks under the Christmas tree this year, it extended the Cyber Monday sale to end on Dec. 2. So, you only have a few hours to purchase the best-sellers before they return to their $135 price tag. Hurry: some Nike V2Ks offer stackable discount codes.

Every November, once Black Friday rears its persuasive head, I make note of my closet's holes before shopping sales. (It's mostly to rein in my "treat yourself" mentality.) This year, Nike's celebrity-beloved V2K sneakers are at the top of my list.

On November 24, five days pre-Black Friday, I awoke to the most beautiful sight for a fashion girl: Nike marked down Jennifer Lawrence's exact sneakers below $100. The early-2000s-inspired V2K Runs debuted in July 2023, before winning over celebrities in early 2024. Lawrence and Kaia Gerber were the firsts to endorse the extra-cushioned shoes—in the Summit White/Metallic Silver, to be specific.

For over a year, J.Law has worn the $125 trainers on repeat, alongside rare handbags and The Row outerwear. They're instantly recognizable, mainly for metallic silver toeboxes, cream-colored soles, and sheer plastic sidewalls. Most recently, on October 28, the Die, My Love actor re-wore the V2Ks with a $1,150 Almada Label coat, Loewe track pants, and a studded suede bag from Gimaguas. A month later, the exact colorway appeared on Zappos for just $94 (a full 25 percent off the original price tag).

Before securing Lawrence's Nikes, I figured it wouldn't hurt to check if Johnson's preferred pair were on sale, too. On Nov. 12, she added Lawrence's shade to her collection, but in the months prior, the Materialists star was loyal to the all-black V2Ks. This summer, the $135 sneakers were her signature gym shoe—she wore them from Malibu to New York City and beyond.

Now, her Anthracite/Black colorway is marked down to $101, if you use the code "BFRIDAY" at checkout. Once they arrive, take them for a spin at your next workout class. Johnson regularly styles the monochrome shoes with an oversize crewneck, Lululemon's Align 28 leggings, and Gucci sunglasses. Rumor has it, pairing Gucci and Nike helps you lift twice your bodyweight.

Turns out, various Nike V2Ks are discounted for Black Friday, including the black-and-white, beige, silver, and fuchsia versions. What's more, pale pink V2Ks reached $55—that's 63 percent off the usual $120 listing. And it's not even Nov. 28 yet. Treat yourself to the Lawrence and Johnson-approved picks below, before other fashion girls beat you to it.

Dakota Johnson has curated quite the impressive coat collection, especially for a California local. On November 12, she debuted the newest addition to her outerwear rack, proving fashion girls on either coast can partake in winter's rising coat trends.

Mere hours after hitting the gym, Johnson swapped her workout gear and Nike V2K sneakers for a coat-first look. To quote fashion features editor Emma Childs, "The coat was the outfit," because hardly anything else peeked out from beneath its calf-length silhouette. It was a chill 60° in L.A., so a fuzzy wrap coat was more than suitable. Chocolate, cool-toned wool made up the entire topper, beginning with oversize lapels, loose epaulettes, and a monochrome belt. In fact, it mirrored a winterized rendition of her beloved Leset trench coat, which she wore on repeat last fall. What Johnson layered underneath still remains a mystery. Knowing her, however, it was a plunging slip dress of some sort.

Slouchy knee-high boots acted in lieu of pants. Johnson's black knee-highs read surprisingly East Coast-esque with a brown jacket. A simple gold buckle on either sidewall revealed they're a vintage Celine find. The Materialists actor scored the Celine Claude boots in 2019, and yet, they look good as new.

Like Jennifer Lawrence and Zoë Kravitz, it wouldn't be a proper Johnson set without at least one The Row select. This time, the Olsen twin-led label provided her handbag of the evening: the rare Dalia Baguette, beloved by Ariana Grande and Emily Ratajkowski for its geometric, rectangular shape. The shoulder style comes in black or burgundy—Johnson carried the latter, grounding her black-and-brown combination in today's color trends.

It usually rings up for $1,990, but it's been sold out for months. (You can thank EmRata for that.) Mansur Gavriel, another Johnson-approved brand, offers a similar style for under $400.

As for Johnson's outerwear, she could've snatched the belted wool coat straight from a Fall 2025 collection. Meet the Cinched and Sculpted coats, a major trend flagged by Marie Claire as early as August. Its defining features? Statement shoulders and a defined waist, showcased by Givenchy, Prada, Tod's, and Fendi.

"While oversized and boxy coats were also present, hourglass figures emerged as the main standout, with Sarah Burton at Givenchy leading the way with sculpted wool coats that celebrated the female form," Childs says. "Either with a built-in belt or a waist that is perfectly tailored and nipped in, outerwear silhouettes featured more cinched-in shapes."

Even during the Resort 2026 circuit—a season typically void of thick outerwear—familiar wrap coats popped on the runway. Brandon Maxwell, Tory Burch, and Ferrari presented similarly cinched options, all of which could've inspired Johnson's purchase.

Johnson regularly travels to New York City for both business and pleasure, meaning her new coat will get plenty of use this season (and beyond). I, for one, can't wait to see how she Manhattan-proofs it with a scarf, a hat, or gloves. Should she need recommendations, I'm sure Lawrence, her West Village-based friend, has a few brands in mind.

Dakota Johnson and I aren't workout buddies, but we did wear the same new Nike V2K sneakers at the gym today. How many fashion girls can say that? Presumably a few, because she (and other A-listers) have worn them to It-shoe status this year.

On November 12, both Johnson and I gathered the courage to leave our warm beds and fit in a Wednesday morning workout while wearing Nike's chunky-chic sneakers sneakers. Being a midwesterner, I couldn't trek to the treadmill without a puffer coat and gloves. Johnson, on the other hand, looked every bit the L.A. cool-girl en route to her Malibu workout.

First, she layered a white sports bra underneath a neon pink crop top. Her black high-rise Alo leggings matched an oversize zip-up hoodie. For the first time since June, Johnson welcomed her trusty Nike V2Ks back to the street style scene. They weren't her regular $135 all-black pair, however. This time, she debuted the popular white colorway, featuring two-tone black and cream treads, metallic silver toe boxes, and extra-heightened soles.

Johnson isn't new to the V2K Run model altogether. She started collecting the best-sellers last April. Now, she owns three versions: one in black, blue, and white. The latter sneaker style comes highly rated by Jennifer Lawrence, her close friend. (The two reunite regularly, so perhaps J.Law put them on Johnson's radar.)

Most recently, Lawrence was spotted—Nike V2Ks in tow—in late October, wearing a black Almada Label coat, Loewe track pants, and a suede Gimaguas tote. But she's worn the $125 sneakers on repeat since April 2024. The Oscar winner adores them so much, she added a black-and-silver shade to her ever-growing collection last April.

Since the Nike V2Ks launched in July 2023, they've become a calling card for It girls on the go. Mikey Madison, Olivia Culpo, and even Rachel Sennott have since boarded the bandwagon—but Kaia Gerber, like Lawrence, has been a staunch V2K shopper since early 2024. In fact, she's especially loyal to the white, cream, and silver colorway beloved by Lawrence, and now, Johnson. Translation: They could sell out any minute now.

When Dakota Johnson left Gucci for Valentino, the former brand ambassador had to pass the naked dress torch to another sheer style advocate. So Demi Moore has been carrying on her legacy—one Gucci number at a time. On November 11, Moore channeled Johnson in lacy naked gown, marking her second rendition this month (so far).

For one night only, Alice Tully Hall inside Lincoln Center belonged to Landman and the star-studded cast of Season 2. Moore's character, Cami Miller, assumes a larger role in the sophomore batch of episodes. Her solo step-and-repeat reflected that evolution in spades. Stylist Brad Goreski teamed up with Gucci to dress Moore in a transparent lace long-sleeve gown. The bodice's sliver of a slit was held together by a satin bow, which boasted Gucci's interlocking double-G emblem.

In lieu of peek-a-boo underwear, nude underlays lined Moore's entire fit-and-flare skirt. The slip introduced a touch of modesty, without subtracting any naked dressing points. Diamond drop earrings, also with Gucci tags, added some shine to Moore's singular color story.

Moore's Landman look debuted right on the heels of another Gucci gown, featuring numerous naked-inspired elements. On Nov. 1, the Golden Globe Award winner attended the LACMA Art + Film Gala in, you guessed it, custom Gucci. That time, black mesh acted as the dress's sheer foundation. The halter-neck design sparkled with multi-color sequins arranged to mimic flowers and vines.

Each naked Gucci dress is different, but there's no doubt Johnson and Moore's renditions hailed from the same epicenter. In September, the Materialists actor RSVP'd "yes" to the Kering Foundation's Caring for Women dinner. Without a strict dress code to abide by, Johnson was free to let her naked dressing flag fly.

Stylist Kate Young dressed Johnson in a naked Gucci look including a transparent turtleneck and long-sleeves. The actress traded in a nude slip for lingerie from Fleur du Mal, which peeked through the textile.

Moore followed Gucci's new creative director Demna from Balenciaga, where he led the Spanish label for over a decade. She's stayed loyal to him through his move to Gucci—Demna even cast her as Barbara Gucci in the short film "The Tiger," which premiered in lieu of a Spring 2026 show at Milan Fashion Week. With this concrete of a connection, expect Moore's award season circuit to be a display of naked dresses, all at the hands of Gucci.

There's no on-boarding process for new brand ambassadors at Valentino. Alessandro Michele puts his muses right to work, including Dakota Johnson. On November 6, two weeks after her appointment, Johnson starred in her first Valentino campaign under Michele—proving the friends couldn't wait to work together again.

Now that the dust has settled on Spring 2026 collections, it's time to switch gears to the Cruise 2026 circuit. Valentino swapped a traditional runway show for a cinematic short film, plus corresponding close-ups. Michele cast Johnson as his leading lady in both mediums, first dressing her in a $9,900 little red dress. The off-the-shoulder mini featured two tiered cutouts, broken up by knotted sashes. Delicate drapery (all done by hand) added some dimension to the chiffon silk.

She accessorized with the white tights trend of yesteryear and ankle-strap Tiffany blue pumps. If her black leather tote looks familiar, that's because it's a Fall/Winter 2025 handbag-turned-celebrity staple. Anne Hathaway, Rihanna, Bella Hadid, and Jenna Ortega own the now Johnson-approved Valentino Panthea. (Some in multiple shades.)

Michele and Johnson celebrated their first collaboration since 2022 with not one, but two set-ups. Next, the Materialists star tried on Look 5 from the Cruise 2026 collection: a bejeweled beige shawl layered over a feather-trimmed mini. To fulfill Johnson's naked dressing quota, the topper was completely transparent. Even so, the Valentino Panthea bag—this time in beige—took precedence. She carried the $2,300 tote by its yellow gold chainlink strap, while the studded crossbody dangled freely.

Another angle would've revealed the intricate nature of Johnson's mini. The spaghetti-strap style began with an ivory lace bodice and criss-cross satin ribbons. Then, metallic embroidery created a drop-waist effect atop a sequin sheath. Johnson opted out of the original leather newsboy cap and crimson ankle-strap heels. Knowing Michele, he gave her free reign.

Judging by their history at Gucci, fashion girls knew Michele and Johnson would make magic together. But now, Johnson's initial Valentino ad has fans begging for a full-blown collaboration.

Last night was a movie. At least for Dakota Johnson at Vogue World 2025: Hollywood. The actor scored a seat in the front row, while Kendall Jenner, Alex Consani, and more modeled cinematic fashion on the runway. Johnson was impossible to miss on the sidelines, thanks to her fresh-off-the-runway Valentino dress.

The fourth annual affair brought style muses and tastemakers to Paramount Studios on October 26. Director Baz Luhrman called "action" and transported audiences to a faux film set, starring Hollywood's most esteemed actors, musicians, and models. So, it's no wonder Johnson RSVP'd "yes."

Stylist Kate Young helped curate the star's first Valentino red carpet moment since 2019, kickstarting her Valentino brand ambassador cycle in Look 40 from creative director Alessandro Michele's Spring 2026 collection. The sleeveless column dress—adorned with 1920s-inspired pink, silver, blue, and green beadwork—was practically made for Johnson. A semi-sheer tulle halter neck and pale pink skirt came accented with triangle-shaped embroidery atop the bodice. Its high neck required little to no jewelry: just diamond drop earrings, silver bangles, and a plain black purse carried as a clutch.

Once Johnson found her seat next to Jennifer Connelly, she finally revealed her shoes. She chose peep-toe mules from Valentino's shelves. Pastel mesh uppers—featuring a silver snake motif—were a perfect shade match to her Spring 2026 gown. What's more, they bordered on the naked shoe trend, also co-signed by Gigi Hadid, Emma Stone, and Rihanna (to name a few).

The dress itself looked the very same on Michele's most recent catwalk. The only difference? On Oct. 5, a model showcased Johnson's gown with PVC pumps. Each sidewall was lined with black velvet, a trademark in the 80-look line. Johnson, on the other hand, opted for the Reputation-coded stilettos seen in Look 49. They originally appeared alongside an entirely transparent little black dress, tiered with chiffon and a lace hem.

It's been a minute since Johnson graced a Hollywood affair in Valentino. Six years, to be exact. In Sept. 2019, she attended the HFPA and Hollywood Reporter TIFF Event in an off-the-shoulder ballgown. The olive green gown debuted in Valentino's Resort 2020 collection, designed by Michele's predecessor, Pierpaolo Piccioli. Johnson's ambassadorship is only one week old, but she's already making up for lost time.

Hopefully, Dakota Johnson will one day display her red carpet looks in a Met Gala-worthy exhibit. Should that time come, she'll need an entire floor dedicated to her naked dresses. According to a new interview, being the face of the trend is a badge of honor she wears with pride (and nothing else).

On October 21, Vogue Germany announced Johnson as the November cover star. In the photoshoot captured by Gregory Harris, she wore a range of covered-up, menswear-inspired suiting. In the interview, she brushed off a question over whether she dresses "too sexy." The naked dress trend is something she stands by even when she's not wearing it.

"I really don't care. I've been able to wear some of the most beautiful dresses, and I feel beautiful in them, so I wear them," she said. "Sometimes those dresses look good on me. There are some we've tried on that didn't look good at all. It depends on the shape, the finish, the color, and everything else."

Basically, if Johnson finds a look she "feels comfortable in," she will wear it. "It's fun to wear a sexy dress," she added.

Clearly, she's being truthful, because it's rare to see Johnson in an opaque piece. She even styled an illusion gown at her sister's wedding. Black lace lined the nude underlay of her gothic bridesmaid's gown, courtesy of Rodarte.

Johnson's sultry side shines on the red carpet, however. Last month, she wore two sheer gowns within days of each other. First, on September 11, she made headlines in a black turtleneck gown from Gucci. It was entirely transparent, apart from floral lace embroidery. Matching satin lingerie from Fleur du Mal peeked through the mesh.

A week later, Johnson popped up at the Zurich Film Festival wearing custom Gucci, once again. This time, she turned heads in a turtleneck ball gown, featuring a cobalt blue bodice. The actor went completely bra-less underneath the lace. Her petticoat drop-waist skirt, on the other hand, shocked fans for being opaque.

Johnson certainly isn't a naked dressing newbie. She's been at it for years, thanks to her relationship with Gucci. In 2021, former creative director Alessandro Michele dressed her in not much more than rhinestone fringe at the Venice Film Festival. Horizontal strands suspended from structured shoulder pads dangled down past her nude bodysuit, a plunging neckline, and a bejeweled illusion skirt.

With Michele now at Valentino (and Johnson as his newly-minted ambassador) expect an uptick in her see-through selects from a new house.

Naked dressing aside, Johnson's Vogue Germany interview was every bit a tell-all. The Materialists actor revealed her favorite jeans (vintage Levi's), which clothes she stole from her mother, and how she wants her production company, TeaTime Pictures, to grow. She even gushed about Gucci, though her brand ambassadorship ended days ago. "I've had an incredible journey with Gucci. They've designed fantastic clothes for me, which has been a great joy," Johnson shared.

As for her relaxed rotation, Johnson described "her thing" as "vintage meets The Row." In Rome last June, she paired The Row's Soft Knot Sandals with a vintage Judith Leiber clutch.

Really, the takeaway from Dakota Johnson's latest interview is this: She'll wear what she wants, when she wants, and no one else can do a thing about it.

When Alessandro Michele filled the creative director post at Valentino in March 2024, fashion insiders had a feeling Dakota Johnson would become one of his official muses. Now, it's official: On October 20, Johnson was finally named Valentino's global brand ambassador, proving she's an Alessandro Michele girl for good.

The Materialists star waited two weeks after her latest red carpet—and, in retrospect, a final dress from her former go-to—to break the news. "I’m elated to be joining the Valentino family, and beyond happy to be reunited with my dearest friend Alessandro Michele," Johnson shared in a press release. In a single, corresponding shot, she wears a polka-dotted gown from Valentino Resort 2026—a hint at many more luxurious images and front-row seats to come.

Until now, Johnson's loyalty lied strictly with Gucci. Michele appointed her to brand ambassador status in 2017, two years into his tenure as creative director. She remained faithful to the brand after Sabato de Sarno and Demna's respective takeovers in January 2023 and July 2025. On July 11, mere days after the Balenciaga alum stepped in, she was spotted in New York carrying the Gucci Softbit Shoulder Bag. The slouchy tote debuted in the Fall 2024 collection under De Sorno.

At the Splitsville premiere on August 19, Johnson debuted a custom Gucci gown topped in metallic silver. A month later, stylist Kate Young dressed her in the label again—this time, in a lace, long-sleeve imagining of the naked dress trend. It was her blue lace ballgown for the Zurich Film Festival, however, that marked the end of her Gucci run.

It's been a minute since Michele and Johnson worked together. In 2022, Johnson wore a lace catsuit and a velvet cape—both from Michele's Gucci—at the Met Gala. The "Gilded Glamour" dress code marked the duo's last major collaboration: Seven months later, he announced his departure from the brand.

Johnson's relationship with Michele certainly didn't end with his Gucci tenure. In fact, it strengthened tenfold. In May 2023—nearly a year after stepping down—Michele called Johnson his "own angel" in an adorable Instagram post.

The two have also vacationed together over the years, even to his hometown of Rome. Most recently, paparazzi spotted them in March 2024, with Johnson wearing Michele-era Gucci. She carried a velvet 1961 Jackie tote atop her $2,800 checkered coat.

Before ending her Gucci ambassadorship, Johnson had only worn Demna's custom designs a handful of times; she also sat out of the house's surprise Spring 2026 show at Milan Fashion Week. Though their collaboration was short-lived, it delivered some stellar evening-wear.

After three long years, Johnson is officially back in Michele's professional orbit. Expect custom couture, fresh-from-the-runway pulls, and Johnson-led campaigns from the dream team in the coming weeks. Knowing them, they'll pick up right where they left off.

Dakota Johnson was certainly missed at Demna's surprise Gucci debut during Milan Fashion Week. However, like any devoted brand ambassador, she's supporting the label from afar. At the Zurich Film Festival, to be specific.

On September 25, Johnson interrupted your regularly-scheduled Fashion Month programming with her latest red carpet look. Her drop-waist Gucci gown was a most welcome interlude, of course. Stylist Kate Young—who's simultaneously dressing Scarlett Johansson in New York City—outfitted Johnson in a custom royal blue ballgown.

Don't be fooled by the turtleneck and long-sleeves: It was anything but modest. The entire lace bodice—from the neck to a below-the-hip waist—was partially sheer. It wasn't quite as risqué as her last naked dress from Gucci, which revealed her bra and thong. Still, she freed the nip. What started as a skintight style flared like a ballgown around her thighs. The skirt was equal parts voluminous and elongated. Johnson's heels remained a mystery, thanks to the floor-length tulle. But knowing the Materialists actor, Gucci supplied her footwear, too.

Once Johnson accepted the Golden Eye Award for her new rom-com, Splitsville, photographers caught a closer look at her jewels. As Roberto Coin's global ambassador, she had access to their entire catalog. This time, she swapped necklaces for statement rings.

According to the Italian brand, they featured diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, and tanzanite, all with unknown price tags. Judging by the Roberto Coin rings she wore at the Splitsville premiere last month, they're well beyond the five-figure range.

Celebrities revived somewhat of a drop-waist renaissance this summer, especially on the red carpet. Bella Hadid, Naomi Campbell, Cara Delevingne, and Daisy Edgar-Jones pulled off the silhouette at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival in May.

Marie Claire first flagged the trend last summer, after it dominated Spring 2024 shows from Sandy Liang, Ferragamo, and Jil Sander, among others. Now that Johnson gave it a truly Gucci twist, expect another uptick in dropped waists this autumn.

It's been a big week for naked dresses and updos. On the same night that Margot Robbie stepped out at an overseas movie premiere wearing a Giorgio Armani naked dress with her hair styled in a French twist, Dakota Johnson pulled off a look with the same combination, and I've never been more obsessed with her glam.

Johnson attended the Kering Foundation's Caring for Women dinner in New York City on Sept. 11, where she stunned in an all-black, floral print Gucci naked gown with a black bra and underwear set underneath. The dress featured a high neck, so it only made sense for her hair to be styled in an updo to keep most of the attention on the gown. Her deep brown hair was pulled back into a slightly messy bun with small pieces of hair pulled out on both sides of her face alongside thick curtain bangs. Johnson's go-to hairstylist is usually Mark Townsend, though it's not clear if he's the artist behind last night's look.

As for her makeup, she kept it sultry with a slight smokey eye and a nude lip.

Updos have been a staple on a handful of red carpets in the last week. The 2025 MTV Video Music Awards took place on Sunday night, and some of the best beauty looks from the show were complete with stunning high buns and big, '90s-style prom updos. Tessa Thompson also attended a movie premiere on Sept. 10 wearing her hair in a very chic, twisted bun. Whether you're wearing an elegant gown or a casual top and jeans, a bun (slick or otherwise), has the ability to look good with just about anything.

Read ahead for some beauty essentials that'll likely come in handy for recreating Johnson's look from above.

For me, 2024 was the year of the naked dress. Everyone from Kendall Jenner to Jennifer Lopez bared it all on the red carpet. But in Dakota Johnson's world, it’s a tradition—not a trend.

Ever the pioneer in 21st century naked dressing, Johnson revived her faithful formula on night one of New York Fashion Week. Stylist Kate Young reunited with Gucci to bring Johnson's risqué vision to life for the Kering Foundation's Caring for Women dinner. On Sept. 11, they dreamt up an almost-invisible long-sleeve gown, made entirely of sheer illusion lace.

The black florals stretched from Johnson's turtleneck, down her barely-there bodice, and ended with a mermaid train. A balconette Fleur du Mal bra, plus matching underwear, peeked through its transparent fabric.

The back sent jaws dropping, too. Lingerie acted as her only opaque pieces, including an itty-bitty thong. It was black, as to not pull focus from the custom Gucci. If you look closely, you'll spot rhinestones sporadically placed from top to bottom. They added just enough dimension to the consistent color story.

With a high neck like Johnson's, most celebrities would opt out of a necklace. (See Demi Moore's custom Alexander McQueen gown at the 2025 BAFTAs.) Instead, the Materialists actor layered diamonds over her Gucci lace. She sourced Zoë Kravitz-beloved brand, Jessica McCormack, for a 23-carat diamond necklace titled the "Moonshine."

Its half-moon gemstones were set in blackened white gold—a trademark for the London jeweler. This button-back detailing pops up on Zendaya's engagement ring, which put McCormack on Marie Claire's radar. Johnson paired it with asymmetrical diamond and emerald hoop earrings, also from McCormack's catalog. For their price tags, customers have to reach out to the designer directly, which suggests they're far beyond the five-figure mark.

Back to the nakedness. A few hours before Johnson went viral, Margot Robbie did the same. She paid homage to the late Giorgio Armani in an entirely-transparent gown from Armani Privé Spring 2025 Couture, one of his final collections. Instead of floral lace, it featured intricately divine beadwork in boho-inspired shapes. Robbie also styled peek-a-boo G-string, except in metallic silver.

Johnson and Robbie’s synched serve says a naked dress renaissance is underway. With the 2025 Emmy Awards days away, and after that, another buzzy award season, their joint sartorial prowess could easily ignite round two. Perhaps even more naked than before.

It's been a minute since I've regularly worn eyeshadow. The last time I was more than just a minimal eye makeup girly was during my days as a college dancer (my Naked 2 palette never saw a day of rest), but Dakota Johnson is slowly awakening my love for smokey eye makeup with her latest red carpet appearance. The actress attended the premiere of Splitsville in Los Angeles earlier this week and her look made me nostalgic for the dramatic eye makeup of the 2010s.

Johnson turned up at the event wearing a sleek, metallic silver Gucci gown with platform sandals and a stack of white gold bracelets. Her hair was styled in her signature blunt bangs with a soft curl at the ends of her hair, but not even a long bang could stop me from looking at her eye makeup. To complement the edginess of the metallic dress, she wore what looks to be a handful of earthy nude tones that were blended out on her eyes to create a very soft smokey eye. The look was finished off with a coat or two of black volumizing mascara on her upper and lower lash lines.

The smokey eye was pretty much a staple on red carpets in the early 2000s, since it was a go-to look for anything that called for dialed-up glamour, but even as the "clean girl" aesthetic and minimal makeup looks continue to take over my FYP, it's slowly making a comeback in the form of newer trends like "grunge makeup." It's also pretty versatile, and you can tailor how dramatic you want it to be to your own personal preferences.

To get Dakota Johnson's look, read ahead to shop a few of my favorite eyeshadow palettes for creating a red carpet-worthy smokey eye.

The trend cycle simply doesn't apply to Dakota Johnson. She can pull off any look—from chunky sneakers to extra-oversize tote bags—as long as her favorite designers are involved. As of August 19, 2025, her list of resurgent trends now includes the metallic trend last seen en masse at the start of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in April 2023—with the help of a custom Gucci gown.

The brand ambassador (and her stylist, Kate Young) recruited incoming creative director, Demna, for the film's L.A. premiere look. The dream team came up with a strapless column dress in metallic silver. It was created entirely out of leather, from the draped corset to the skirt's center-slitted back. Platform sandals from—you guessed it—Gucci occasionally peeked out.

Johnson chose matching accessories, courtesy of Roberto Coin. Instead of a necklace, the Materialists star went with statement bangles, starting with two Love In Verona bracelets, ringing in at $8,750 each. Her silver stack reached five-figure status with the Love In Verona Open Frame Bangle. Diamond flowers give it a $20,950 price tag.

After her solo step-and-repeat, Johnson was joined by her mother, Melanie Griffith. She looked every bit a Hollywood legend in a fitted ivory suit set, featuring ultra-padded shoulders and flowy trousers. If you expected her to finish with pointy pumps, think again. Griffith slipped on Sneex's divisive sneaker-heel hybrid in the Sand colorway.

The $395 trainers look exactly how they sound: the heels mimic stilettos, while the uppers mirror Johnson's favorite chunky sneakers. Regardless of the internet's distain for "The Icon," they've click-clacked their way into the closets of Reese Witherspoon, Kathy Bates, and Oprah.

In true celebrity form, the Splitsville fête didn't end once the closing credits rolled. Johnson headed to the after-party—not in metallics, but sequins. Johnson and Young got their hands on Look 32 from Gucci Fall 2025, except the original floor-length skirt was transformed into a mini.

The bodice, on the other hand, looked fresh off the runway, complete with padded shoulders, a relaxed waistline, and long sleeves. Her pointy black pumps debuted on the same catwalk. To finish, Johnson sourced Roberto Coin once more, this time for diamond drop earrings.

Johnson's loyalties have lied with Gucci since the mid-2010s, even before she became an ambassador in 2018. This summer, she's used her seasonal style to re-commit to the brand, while Demna prepares for his grand debut. Sure, her close friend Alessandro Michele moved to Valentino, but Johnson is still a Gucci girl through and through.

And just like that, Dakota Johnson caught the early fall fashion bug. On August 12, following Zoë Kravitz and Zendaya's leads, the actress swapped trendy summer shoes (like her Alaïa mesh flats) for a transitional staple: specifically, the Gucci loafers she's worn every autumn since 2015.

Following a mid-morning run to Erewhon in L.A., Johnson was papped in her latest high-low look, starting with the Gucci Brixtons. Retailing for $1,050, the black leather loafers fulfilled her outfit's "high" portion (and then some). Each toe box featured Gucci's iconic horsebit hardware, a trademark since the '50s. The collapsible heels can convert into mules, but Johnson wore them as-is. The Materialists star paired them with the unofficial Erewhon shopper uniform: light-wash jeans and a gray T-shirt.

The devoted Gucci ambassador also carried the B Large Shoulder Bag; a new $4,600 tote in brown monogrammed suede. (If you look closely enough at Johnson's photo, you'll find its leather top handle beneath an overflowing Erewhon bag.) Inspired by an archival 1950s accessory, the new B Bag debuted in the Fall 2024 collection. It was Sabato de Sarno's final design for the Italian label before Demna took over as creative director.

Before she became a Gucci girl in 2017, Johnson started collecting its bags for her personal archive. She now owns more than 15 styles, ranging from the oversize Giglio tote bag to itty-bitty Jackies. The B Bag is her newest purchase, matching the October-ready energy of her tried-and-true Brixton loafers.

Over the past decade, while Johnson's style evolved from business casual to California cool-girl, her love for Gucci Brixtons didn't budge. They found a permanent spot in her closet in 2015. Judging by her latest look, the leather loafers haven't moved since. She regularly deploys them alongside jeans in various washes and silhouettes. In 2017, Johnson added the pink colorway to her collection, oftentimes with a rare Gucci Bag in tow.

On my morning walks, I usually start seeing loafers instead of flip-flops around late September. But now, with Johnson's approval, I wouldn't be shocked if more loafers popped up in the coming days. At this rate, I'll be wearing knee-high boots by October 1.

Forget unlikely celebrity couples—budding fashion-girl friendships are the developments making my heart melt. On August 11, Dakota Johnson secured a spot in Kendall Jenner's latest Instagram dump and all but confirmed their new connection.

These two run in the same The Row-loving circles, but they've never been publicly photographed together—not even at the Met Gala. As far as I know, their first interaction happened on June 30 aboard the Ritz-Carlton's Luminara yacht. While the star-studded ship sailed through Italy, the two posed for pics together.Two months later, Jenner finally shared them on IG.

On a deck overlooking the ocean, the supermodel posed in a vintage Hervé Léger midi dress, circa Spring 1997. The boat-neck number's black-and-white stripes weren't quite zebra print, but a curved optical illusion instead. In the accessory department, she tapped into the coin purse trend, co-signed by Taylor Swift and Priyanka Chopra.

Days before embarking on her Ibiza excursion, Dakota Johnson contrasted Jenner's '90s maximalism in a boho-chic sundress. The sleeveless style was practically made to be worn on a boat, as the skirt's asymmetrical layers flowed in the breeze. The bodice, on the other hand, featured a fitted plunging neckline, plus a criss-cross tie around her empire waist. The Materialists actor paired it with The Row's Knot Leather Mules—the same $1,190 pumps she wore the night before.

In Zoey Deutch's post-yacht photo dump, Johnson was spotted once again, this time in the popular Pucci print. Though the photo was blurry, she was impossible to miss in a pink-and-black Emilio Pucci silk slip dress. It looked so sleek alongside her newest The Row slides.

Leave it to an exclusive, celebrities-only yacht to bring my favorite fashion muses together. Naomi Campbell, Sofia Vergara, Martha Stewart, Kate Hudson, Nina Dobrev, and more were also on the ship, so maybe the voyage started another stylish friendship or two.

Katie Holmes is currently filming her new movie, Happy Hours, in New York City opposite her former Dawson's Creek co-star Joshua Jackson. On a rare day off, Holmes was spotted wearing a pair of Nike sneakers beloved by celebrities like Dakota Johnson and Olivia Rodrigo. She paired her chic footwear with balletcore sweats from another celebrity-approved brand, and completed the outfit with a bucket hat.

For a solo outing in the city, Holmes wore a pair of white Nike Women's Cortez Leather Sneakers, which feature a red logo on the side and a blue stripe on the sole. The retro sneakers retail for just $90 and are available to shop in a variety of colors, making Holmes's outfit easy to replicate.

Ensuring her sporty outfit was exceedingly snug, Holmes opted for a gray Alo Yoga Crew Neck Pullover, retailing for $138. The sweatshirt's baggy fit makes it the perfect item to wear on a lazy day, and is available in a huge selection of colors. Celebrities like Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner have previously shown their love for the Alo Yoga brand.

The Pieces of April star appeared to style her gray Alo Yoga sweatshirt with a pair of the brand's sweatpants in a light shade of teal.

A brown bucket hat and a black handbag finished Holmes's casual outfit. The actress regularly leans into different sneaker trends, and appears to have quite the collection of sporty footwear. She also recently surprised fans with a pair of raspberry red Mary Janes.

The moment The Row's Dune sandal first appeared online this spring, it registered as more than a simple rubber flip-flop with a textured sole. Its $690 price tag guaranteed it would be a subject of intense debate and a fixture in A-list street style.

Sure enough, outlets from The New York Times to individual Substacks weighed in on the Dune sandal's triple-digit price—and whether it had earned it. The chatter didn't stop Jennifer Lawrence from pairing hers with flip-flops with jean shorts and postpartum lounge pants alike. Dakota Johnson's sandals joined Lululemon leggings and a T-shirt for a Malibu errand run. Neither Zoë Kravitz nor Kendall Jenner were satisfied with just one pair: While the sandals sold out quickly, both managed to acquire The Row's flip-flops in its two colors (red and black).

The more the Dune sandal came up in online conversation, the more everyone offline seemed to want it, regardless of the price tag. (For an It-shoe-in-waiting, all press is good press.) Now, there are hard numbers proving this not-so-humble sandal is at the top of the accessory pyramid. According to the fashion search engine Lyst, The Row's Dune sandal is the "Hottest Item" for the entirety of Q2 2025.

Lyst evaluated more than eight million online product listings, alongside social media posts and search queries, to crown the Dune sandal the number one item on its quarterly It list. According to the company, searches increased by a whopping 162 percent. All those queries for Mary Kate and Ashely Olsen-approved flip-flops also sent The Row soaring on Lyst's Brand Index. It's now ranked sixth, behind Coach (whose It bags are another celebrity favorite) and Cos (the lone affordable ready-to-wear label on the list).

Shoes by The Row are usually championed by the Dakota Johnsons and Zoë Kravitzes of the world. They accumulate hype every time they appear in a paparazzi shot outside hotspots like Sushi Park and Chez Margaux, usually styled in a jeans-and-flip-flops outfit. But the Dune sandal transcends It girls' closets to be a luxury gender neutral staple. Lyst noted that searches for Dune sandal shot up even higher after Jurassic World: Rebirth star Jonathan Bailey wore them on the red carpet.

The conversation around the Dune sandal is what made it rise in the Lyst rankings, according to its report. Every article debating its quality or sharing how a celebrity styled it only made it more aspirational. "Viral visibility reframed the once-basic shoe as a fashion-forward summer staple—proof that simplicity, when styled right, can carry surprising weight," the report said.

Never mind that these sandals have plenty in common with boardwalk pairs. In a see-and-be-seen digital fashion economy, shoppers want the Saint Tropez alternative. The same phenomenon happened with The Row's Barn tote: a simple striped bag that gained a cult following because of its four-figure price tag and aura of inaccessibility.

Lyst's Hottest Products List is dominated by shoes this quarter, including Isabel Marant's sneaker wedges and Ancient Greek Sandals' Iro jelly flats. They all gesture at the way designers jumped feet-first into shoe design this season: luxury toe rings and haute couture flip-flops are outpacing ballet flats and chunky sneakers as must-have items.

The Row's Dune flip-flop dominance won't last forever. Open-toe sandals' potential for wearing year-round depends on the climate, after all. But the brand has proven time and time again that it knows which shoes women really want to wear, from its Mara jelly sandals to its Zipped I boot. Whichever design tops the Lyst report next season, the fashion industry will step right up to shop it.

Olivia Rodrigo is living her best Hannah Montana life right now. By night, the Grammy winner takes center stage at sold-out stadiums around the world. By day, however, she's your average 22-year-old, exploring her boyfriend's London hometown in sleek street style.

On July 17, mere hours before headlining Lollapalooza Paris, Rodrigo was spotted in Notting Hill wearing Gen Z's off-duty uniform: sneakers and flared leggings. Until now, Rodrigo's been a steady Adidas Sambas supporter, never once dipping her toe into the chunky sneaker trend. Most recently, she continued her slim streak with retro Nike Cortez sneakers.

Though the track shoes first debuted in 1972, Rodrigo's "Gym Red/Sail" colorway hails from the newest reissue. It's complete with wider toes and firmer side panels, "so you can comfortably wear them all day without any warping," according to the website. Rodrigo's red-and-white sneakers are currently on sale for $77—14 percent off the original $90 price tag.

To summer-ify her sneakers, Rodrigo paired a cropped white tank top with high-waisted Alo Yoga leggings. She unzipped the $138 yoga pants ever-so slightly to reveal her bright red trainers. Contrary to her on-stage costumes, Rodrigo went with minimalist accessories, including a woven shoulder bag from the Belgian handbag brand Dragon Diffusion. The $599 tote was partially sheer, and matched her Bru Eyewear oval-shaped sunglasses.

If you're getting déjà vu from Rodrigo's shoes (pun intended), that's because Dakota Johnson owns the same model, except in brown. On the Materialists set last summer, they were a staple for Johnson's character, Lucy.

In between takes, the Fifty Shades alum wore the Cortez sneakers with a fringed Another Tomorrow midi skirt and a sheer Simkhai tank top, the same set Lucy chose for a date with Harry, a.k.a. Pedro Pascal.

All this to say? Nike Cortez sneakers are experiencing a more slow and steady rise to fame, unlike Dakota Johnson's V2Ks. No matter which retro shade catches your eye, you'll want to say you secured a pair before another celebrity joins the bandwagon.

Who would turn down the chance to party with Madonna? Not Dakota Johnson. On July 11, the Materialists star jetted from London to New York City for a moment with the legend, seemingly pausing her stylish Euro summer. After the star-studded soirée, however, she wasted no time resuming her travels in Rome. Picking up right where her looks left off, Johnson styled a white skirt—potentially the most versatile must-have in her suitcase.

After a (presumably) delicious lunch at the popular Pierluigi restaurant, Johnson was spotted by the paparazzi in the aforementioned ankle-length maxi skirt from Leset. The ivory satin slip appeared to be both lightweight and airy—two non-negotiables for 80° Fahrenheit dressing. Its high-rise waist was fitted, while the hem flared out to reveal her cult-collected $950 mesh ballet flats from Alaïa. The sheer shoes have proven to be quite versatile—they've complemented her chic resortwear from Ibiza to Karlovy and now, Italy.

Johnson's closet boasts an overflowing collection of minimalist neutrals. However, last week in Ibiza, the 35-year-old shocked style enthusiasts in more colorful attire, including a mint green, Fall 2025 Gucci bamboo-handle bag.

When in Rome, Johnson returned to her regular color palette with a black Toteme tank top: Her take on the white skirt outfit idea everyone has back in New York. The sleeveless style was cohesively ribbed from the high neck to the racerback. A $14,250 bolo-style emerald necklace from Ophelia Eve stood out against the blank canvas. Celine's miniature chainlink clutch—printed with the Triomphe canvas—secured her essentials for the day. To finish, Johnson carried cat-eye sunglasses from Bottega Veneta.

Last summer, Johnson's white skirt would've fit right in with her effortless East Coast aesthetic. While in production for Materialists, she took a break from portraying the poised matchmaker, Lucy, in a similar maxi skirt from Loulou Studio.

The only difference? It featured slits up the front, sides, and back, making it even more lightweight than her latest look. She styled it with a matching button-down over a ribbed tank top, this time in sage green. Rare slingback flats from The Row complemented her $3,900 Loewe Flamenco bag, both in black.

Take it from Johnson: White skirts can stand the test of time—and travel. The summer staple looked just as chic in Italy as it did in NYC, if not more, because, you know, it's Rome. Being abroad automatically elevates any outfit.

Dakota Johnson is one of the biggest proponents of the chunky sneaker trend, which she demonstrated while leaving the Greenwich Hotel in Tribeca this week. Wearing a pair of white chunky sneakers with bright green soles, which screamed "dadcore," the Materialists star nailed high-low dressing by carrying a $3,650 Gucci bag. Basically, Johnson knows exactly how to style the most desirable fashion pieces with her comfortable clothing items.

For starters, Johnson carried a Gucci Softbit Maxi Shoulder Bag in Black Leather, which retails for $3,650 and comes in a plethora of colors.

Meanwhile, the actress wore pair of baggy blue jeans with a simple T-shirt and a thigh-length brown velvet cardigan. A pair of sunglasses, and sleek white sneakers—featuring a vibrant green sole—rounded out her outfit.

While it's unclear where Johnson acquired her on-trend chunky sneakers, a number of different brands are known for their bright green soles. For instance, both Bottega Veneta and Gucci have released footwear with a distinctive green sole, meaning it's not impossible to recreate Johnson chic high-low outfit combination. Plus, The Row's Owen Color-Block Mesh and Suede Sneakers appear to be a close match to the sneakers worn by the Fifty Shades of Grey icon.

As for Johnson's baggy jeans, a ton of celebrities have been spotted embracing the '90s throwback trend, which guarantees a high level of comfort as well as style.

Basically, Johnson has a true talent for effortlessly embracing current trends, and her sneaker collection gets more enviable by the day.

This summer, I'm styling one linen look after another, only breaking up my streak for other lightweight fabrics like chiffon, lace, or silk. Dakota Johnson, however, says fabrics I reserve for my winter wardrobe are viable year-round. On July 6, the A-lister pulled off a velvet little black dress: the antithesis of her barely-there bikinis from earlier this weekend.

Johnson jetted from her Ibiza vacation with Kate Hudson to the Czech Republic for the 2025 Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. She continued her LBD stretch to accept the prestigious President's Award before a special screening of Materialists played. Johnson's longtime stylist, Kate Young, dressed her in an anti-summer velvet midi dress from Mugler.

The plunging neckline featured two sultry spikes, one on each end of the corseted bodice. The actor's column skirt stopped right above her ankles to reveal satin Jimmy Choo pumps, also in black.

Two months into her global ambassadorship at Roberto Coin, Johnson frosted herself in the finest jewels from the Italian label. She sourced the Haute Couture Collection for emerald-encrusted pieces, including a rare pendant necklace encased by emerald-cut diamonds. Johnson's necklace complemented her elongated drop earrings, also in a blend of emerald and diamonds. Even the 35-year-old's statement ring followed the two-tone theme. Only the brand's ambassadors have access to the Haute Couture Collection's price tags, but the ring is rumored to cost upwards of $35,000.

The Sunday evening soirée marked Johnson's first red carpet walk in a month, when her Materialists press tour concluded. However, the festival outfit felt right up her Materialists alley. On June 7, Johnson arrived at the Tribeca Film Festival in another luxe LBD, courtesy of Gucci. The ambassador looked sleek and summery in a backless gown, strappy sandals, and cat-eye sunglasses.

A week prior, Roberto Coin celebrated Johnson's ambassador appointment in New York City. To no surprise, she wore a black strapless gown, this time from Ferragamo. Instead of emeralds, blue sapphires adorned her ears, neck, and hands. Her $25,000 statement ring was especially eye-catching.

No matter the date or the season, Johnson has made it clear: she's committed to her LBD agenda and her new favorite jeweler. One more pairing, and I'll have no choice but to follow her summer black dress lead.

In the two weeks since Dakota Johnson wrapped the intense Materialists press tour, she's been enjoying some much-deserved R&R. Last week, the A-lister ditched New York City for the Mediterranean Sea and its surrounding countries. First, she was spotted in Rome with her travel companion, Kate Hudson. Two days later, the close friends set sail for Ibiza—and dressed the part, of course.

On July 2, paparazzi photographed Johnson minutes after she arrived on the Spanish island. Instead of typical travel attire, the Fifty Shades of Grey star looked ocean-ready in her first bikini of the week. She chose a white triangle-shaped bralette with a halter-shaped neckline. Then, she swapped the matching bottoms for a floral satin slip skirt, courtesy of Dôen. Named the Elowen Skirt, her exact style is sold out (surprise, surprise), but the L.A. label offers the same silhouette in different patterns.

Not only was it on-brand selection for Johnson, the skirt marked a subtle tribute to her viral Materialists costumes as well. She wore floral Dôen pieces twice in the romantic dramedy. First came a billowy blouse in an anniversary fight scene. Later in the film, Johnson's character, Lucy, crashed a wedding in the butter yellow Nevara Dress, unexpectedly paired with Nike sneakers.

On the footwear front, Johnson pulled out Alaïa's celeb-beloved mesh ballet flats from her 2023 archive. (She hasn't publicly worn them since Oct. 2023.) Patent leather straps across each upper mimicked classic Mary Janes, while the mesh made them lightweight and airy—perfect for summer.

A few weeks ago, Sofia Richie Grainge wore the same popular pair during her Euro summer getaway to France. She opted for the white version to complement her striped blouse and ivory trousers.

Now, a moment for Johnson's carry-on. In true fashion girl form, her travel tote wasn't your average canvas bag. The longtime brand ambassador carried a lime green shopper from Gucci that's no longer offered by the label. Her rectangular carry-all featured Gucci's patented bamboo top handle. According to secondhand sites, the green color-way is incredibly rare and listed at upwards of $500.

The 35-year-old's swimwear set surfaced three days after her initial holiday 'fit dropped. On June 28, Johnson and Hudson strolled through Rome looking sun-kissed and stylish. Johnson, for one, sourced Bode for an embroidered tank top, which complemented her AGOLDE wide-leg jeans. Following Taylor Swift, Kendall Jenner, and Priyanka Chopra's lead, she tapped into the coin purse trend with a vintage Judith Leiber clutch.

Similarly, Hudson looked effortlessly chic in a button-down poplin dress accessorized by a multi-color ascot tied around her neck. To finish, the two twinned with peep-toe patent leather mules, both in black.

Last summer, Ibiza brought out the best in fashion muses like Dua Lipa, Naomi Campbell, Kendall Jenner, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Clearly, the country is already doing the same for Johnson.

After months of raving about my favorite slim sneakers, I’ve started to change my tune. Summer 2025’s biggest sneaker trends include chunky, comfortable styles, and fashion’s favorite It-girls—namely Dakota Johnson, Kaia Gerber, Hailey Bieber, and Bella Hadid—are to blame.

It all began when Jennifer Lawrence was seen wearing a pair of Nike V2K Run sneakers in early April. The style caught my eye because it stood out from her usual sneaker lineup with its more eye-catching silhouette. So long, Adidas Tokyo—there was a new silhouette in town.

I wouldn't have thought much of it if Johnson hadn't stepped out in the same pair a few weeks later—and then kept wearing them repeatedly. Before long, they became a staple in her sneaker collection, perfectly complementing her casual athleisure outfits. While her Materialists wardrobe was all about luxury designer basics, Johnson’s everyday wardrobe was quite the opposite.

The sudden fixation on a single pair of Nike sneakers was just the next step in moving away from the ultra-close-fitting kicks of seasons past. Styles from French hiking brand Salomon, for example, have quietly made their way into the closets of stars like Bella Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski, and Kendall Jenner—and have remained there for years.

Sticking with the "sporty sneaker to fashion girl favorite" pipeline, On’s running sneakers have found fans in Zendaya and, more recently, Gerber, who just wore them this week. Even New Balance has gotten in on the resurgence, earning a recent co-sign from Hailey Bieber in New York City. These styles have always been around, but they've been bubbling away under the surface, waiting for their moment in the sun.

So, if three is a trend, then four is something bigger and more definitive. Consider this my official decree that retro sneakers have a new look as we head into the second half of 2025, and I’m here for it. Ahead, shop other similar styles from fashion’s favorite brands across the price spectrum.

Shop More Chunky Sneakers

Plenty of Paris Fashion Week photos go viral, but this tableau from the Chloé Fall 2024 front-row lives rent-free in my mind. A year ago, Sienna Miller, Georgia May Jagger, Kiernan Shipka, Pat Cleveland, and 13 more stars viewed creative director Chemena Kamali's new show in the exact same platform wedge heels. Since VIP guests rarely coordinate at fashion week fêtes, Chloé's intention was clear: A wedge sandal comeback is upon us.

To no surprise, the boho-inspired shoes instantly became a celebrity staple. But now, they're paving the way for other wedges to emerge. Months later, stars like Dakota Johnson, Rihanna, Naomi Watts, and Alex Consani (to name a few) have boarded the wedge bandwagon—just not in the boho way you'd expect. Instead of the typical espadrille or cork styles, fashion muses are making a case for slimmer, '90s-coded wedges.

Skinny shoes "reflect the [cultural] shift toward '90s minimalism with sleek silhouettes, clean lines, and a more refined sensibility," Micaela Erlanger, celebrity stylist to Kelly Clarkson and Lupita Nyong'o, tells me over email. Contrary to yesteryear's bulky wedges, they're a "subtler, more architectural take on height that complements today’s tailored, less-is-more wardrobe," she adds.

You can hear the thump of '70s-looking wedges a mile away, but slender options from Khaite, Saint Laurent, Etro, and Alaïa sound just like your signature stilettos. And at first glance, they can look nearly identical. (I bet Rihanna's said, They're actually wedges, a time or two.) But there are key differences in the construction. "Celebrities are gravitating toward them because they’re both elongating and wearable—offering lift without sacrificing comfort—and they pair beautifully with everything from bias-cut slip dresses to slouchy trousers," Erlanger says.

There's also a purely-aesthetic POV to consider: thinner wedges photograph better, the stylist adds. "Social media and street style also play a huge role: the slim wedge adds subtle drama and aligns with the current taste for understated sophistication," she explains. "Plus, it’s the perfect hybrid of nostalgia and modernity."

Erlanger recommends a "polished, not beachy" styling approach even if you're not being snapped by the paparazzi or appearing on a late-night talkshow. "Pair them with a sleek column dress, cropped flares, or an oversized blazer and mini skirt for contrast," she says. "The key is to avoid anything too boho or busy—let the silhouette of the wedge speak for itself."

Ahead, see which celebrities are wearing slimmed down wedges this summer. If you're feeling inspired, shop their exact shoes, too.

Dakota Johnson's Khaite Wedges

This season, Johnson used her popular Materialists press tour to partake in the wedge resurgence. On June 2, she debuted Khaite's slipper-style shoe in a black glazed leather. The snip-toe uppers peeked out from underneath bootcut jeans, courtesy of Balenciaga, followed by a sheer bodysuit, a leather trench coat, and a The Row clutch.

Rihanna's Saint Laurent Wedges

Rihanna showcased slim wedges way back in February at her 37th birthday party. The guest of honor wore Saint Laurent from head-to-toe, including the atelier's Miller Wedges. Her transparent heels added a flair of femininity to the icon's menswear-inspired blazer, trousers, and suit tie. Extra points for the elongated toes, which revealed the designer behind the shoes.

Simone Ashley's Etro Wedges

Turns out, you can wear wedge sandals without going full beach-core. Take it from Simone Ashley, who pulled off this flip-flop-wedge hybrid at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. The Bridgerton star embodied French Riviera fashion in heeled thongs from Etro, plus a vintage McQueen skirt set. I'll be channeling her entire ensemble all summer long.

Alex Consani's Alaïa Wedges

Consani has some of the best footwear in fashion. Also in Cannes, the supermodel was snapped by the paparazzi in a coat dress alongside Alaïa flip-flops. Contrary to Ashley, her shoes leaned slightly more casual, thanks to the Y-shaped straps in suede.

Naomi Watts's Saint Laurent Wedges

Watts's Saint Laurent sandals combine the best of chunky and skinny wedges. The uppers feature peep-toes with ankle straps, while the three-inch heels mimic gold espadrilles. In March, the King Kong alum paired the metallic gold shoes with a tuxedo-inspired jumpsuit and a bright red tote, but knowing Watts, she'll rewear them this summer.

Sarah Paulson's Bottega Veneta Wedges

Bottega Veneta's take on the trend was a celebrity staple earlier this year. Kendall Jenner wore them with a Phoebe Philo fur coat, while Sarah Paulson chose head-to-toe Bottega Spring 2024. The Tony winner sold out the smooth nappa leather version, but Jenner's woven Intrecciato pumps are still available.

Julia Garner's Gucci Wedges

Even Gucci is on-board the wedges revamp. Similar to Saint Laurent, the Italian label's version features acrylic heels and tiered straps across the uppers. In April, Julia Garner displayed the $1,650 shoes at a Gucci event, alongside a gray Fall 2025 dress and the Bamboo 1947 Top-Handle Bag in ivory.

I was scrolling through my footwear-only Pinterest board recently (as one does) and noticed Dakota Johnson's sneaker collection dominates my pins. From Adidas to Nike and every trendy sneaker in between, her expansive shoe rack has become the blueprint for my subconscious sneakerhead.

Jennifer Lawrence has been my sneaker collection muse for years. But on set for her matchmaker dramedy last summer, Johnson's equally-enviable rotation was the highlight of each Materialists outfit I saw. In between takes, the leading lady strolled through New York (and onto my Pinterest board) in various It-trainers, including the famed Adidas Sambas sneakers. A few scenes later, the sneakers du jour were replaced by a chunkier counterpart: the Nike Cortez, complete with wide toes and crease-resistant uppers. Her matchmaker character, Lucy, even gave Converse Chuck Taylors a go alongside a floral Reformation dress.

After filming wrapped, I realized Dakota Johnson's no newbie (a shoe-bie, if you will). In fact, she's been bulking up her athletic assemblage since 2015, when she first burst onto the Hollywood scene in Fifty Shades of Grey. In fact, her Materialists Chuck Taylors matched a pair she wore in the trilogy's first film. She's been a slim sneaker girl for years, but in a post-Materialists world, her silhouettes have taken a bulky turn. Currently, Johnson's in her Nike V2K era. The 35-year-old owns two of the 14 available colors, and knowing Johnson, she's already planning her next purchase.

Luckily for me, Johnson's collection strikes the perfect balance between affordable and luxury, meaning my Pinterest dreams can become reality. I spent hours rounding up her all-time favorite sneakers (and the outfits she styled them with) ahead. Join me in shopping the edit below before other Materialists audiences catch on to the film's real love story—between Johnson and her favorite sneakers.
